Hello all.

The Least Terns have returned over the past week and are starting to gather 
at their local nesting location in the Brandon Woods business park.  The birds 
nest atop the FILA building (which is now divided in half and also used by a 
company called Metrologic).  Total of 8 birds were seen on the evening of 5/8 
and that included two courting pairs. 

Highlights:

Brandon Woods Business Park:

Little Blue Heron: 2  pond edge
LEAST TERN: 8
Cedar Waxwing: c. 15
House Wren: 1
Yellow Warbler: 1
Prairie Warbler: 1  
Black-and-white Warbler: 1  trees by pond
Common Yellowthroat: 2

Brandon Woods Fields: (off of Perryman Ct):

Sharp-shinned Hawk: 1
BLACKPOLL WARBLER: 3  
Black-throated Green Warbler: 1  trees facing Solley Road
Common Yellowthroat: 2
Indigo Bunting: 1
Blue Grosbeak: 2
Orchard Oriole: 2

Also, the White-crowned Sparrow I reported earlier this week from my yard in 
still here as is a single White-throat.
