Hilton Pond 08/22/01 (Trumpet Creeper/Hummingbirds)




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
