HI all,


   On a break from work at Cylburn, I went down to
Island Point Rd area to see if I can get one for
Baltimore year list. Almost right away, an adult
Little Gull spotted on an old pilings or what left of
a old pier near the renovation restaurant.  Had nice
talk with restaurant owner and to hear his plan for
habitat restoration along restaurant waterfront and he
loves wildlife and was exciting to see an eagle
swooping down on gulls resting on old pier.
