Hilton Pond 04/08/02 (Pinxter-flower)




HI . . .

Pinxter-flower, one of our magnificent wild azaleas, doesn't get it's 
name from its pink color. To learn the derivation of "pinxter"--and a 
lot more, visit the Web site for Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont 
Natural History.

The photo essay on Pinxter-flower is under "This Week at Hilton Pond" 
for the Week" of 8-14 April 2002; just click on 
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek020408.html .

There's also the usual list of banded and recaptured birds, including 
more returning Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.

Please don't forget to forward this message to folks who share our 
interest in nature.  :-)


Happy Spring, and Happy Nature Watching!

BILL
