The summer doldrums seem to have arrived as far as birds are
concerned, but nature hasn't given up on finding new ways to impress
us--such as when were we bicycling this week and came across a
splendid patch of Butterfly-weed not far from Hilton Pond Center for
Piedmont Natural History.
For a photo essay about this sun-loving native wildflower and its
pollinators, please visit "This Week at Hilton Pond" for the period
22-31 June 2003 at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030622.html .
As always, there's an account of all birds banded and recaptured
during the period.
Happy Nature Watching!
BILL
