This Week at Hilton Pond 10/22/00



HI . . .

WOW! The big event of the week was a banded Ruby-throated Hummingbird 
from Hilton Pond Center that was recaptured in Alabama.

To learn just how unusual an event this is, check out the website for 
Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History at 
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ ; under "Miscellany," click on "This Week 
at Hilton Pond" and then on the week of 22-28 October.

Also included are the weekly bird banding totals--which now includes 
interesting recaptures of locally banded birds--plus close-up photos 
of a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and Hermit 
Thrush.


Happy Nature Watching!
