Jack-in-the-Pulpit has an interesting name, a peculiar flower, and a
very intriguing lifestyle.
The 1-7 May 2003 installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond" delves
into the secret life of Jack (and Jill) in the current photo essay at
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030501.html.
As always there's a tally of birds banded, as well as a list of
recaptures. Included is a mug shot of a female Kentucky Warbler--only
the 18th of her species captured at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont
Natural History since 1982.
Happy Nature Watching,
BILL
