Hello all.

After atlasing my Curtis Bay and White Marsh blocks, I decided to check on 
the status of the Least Tern colony in the Brandon Woods Industrial Park. 

The colony appears bigger than it has been the last 2-3 years with at least 
nine terns actively calling and diving in the containment pond. 3 Other 
Least's also flew in from the ponds off of Chestnut Hill and from the 
direction of Kembo road. Afterwards, I visited Kembo, as well.
