HI . . .
Although Trumpet Creeper is a vine that some folks don't like, it's
an all-important source of nectar for Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and
should be encouraged in the garden.
For details please visit
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek010822.html for "This Week at
Hilton Pond" for the week of 22-31 August 2001. (This is a direct
link but please feel free to browse the rest of the Web site.)
As usual, there are seven-day totals for banded and recaptured birds,
including a photo a a young male Ruby-throated Hummingbird with an
abundance of red gorget feathers.
Happy Nature Watching,
BILL
