The current photo essay under "This Week at Hilton Pond" deals with
vultures--birds that are sometimes held in disdain by folks who don't
appreciate the important work these birds do in ridding the world of
roadkills. To read about our native Black Vultures and Turkey
Vultures, just click on http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030215.html
for the week of 15-21 February 2003.
As always there's a tally of birds banded during the week at Hilton
Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History--as well as a nice
assortment of "old" birds that were recaptured during last weekend's
sleet storm.
Happy nature watching,
BILL
