Hilton Pond 05/22/03 (Millipedes)




Walking the trails well before dawn at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont
Natural History, this week we encountered a "thousand-legger" that was
also out for a stroll.

For an up-close-and-personal photo essay about this highly coordinated
millipede, please check out our "This Week at Hilton Pond" photo essay
for 22-31 May 2003 at
<<http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030522.html>> .

As always we include results of our bird banding and recapture efforts
for the period--plus a mug shot of a White-throated Sparrow, one of
which was extremely late this week. There's also a close-up of the
business end of a Deer Fly--a less-than-welcome species that appeared
on 28 May.

Please forward this message to friends who appreciate birds and nature,
and tell them they can get a free reminder for "This Week at Hilton Pond"
by sending a blank e-mail to

Happy Nature Watching!
