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
joining the Nature Study Network via

Happy Nature Watching,
BILL
