Hilton Pond 06/01/01 (Brood Patch & Cloacal Protuberance)




HI . . .

Because they fly, birds face a particular set of problems when it 
comes to reproduction. For a discussion of this topic and photos of 
seldom-seen cloacal protuberances and a brood patch, go to 
http://www.hiltonpond.org , click on the logo for "This Week at 
Hilton Pond," and select the week of 06/01/01.

As always, there's an update with photos of birds banded and/or 
recaptured this week--including Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.

Lastly, if you're interested in natural history, please consider

Happy Nature Watching,
