It appears that Maryland Environmental Service employees on Hart-Miller 
Island have confirmed what we suspected last year --- that Black-necked 
Stilts are breeding on Hart-Miller Island.  The employees report that they 
have been seeing adults with brown young for the past two weeks.  The young 
are smaller in size than the adults.  Whenever the employees go to an area 
where a Stilt family is present, the adults take flight and circle over the 
employees heads while the young birds run away.
