Hilton Pond 11/01/02 (Lincoln's Sparrow)




Lincoln's Sparrows are one of the LEAST common sparrows we band at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History, so we were pleased this week to capture one for what turned out to be an elegant portrait.


For photos and an essay about this secretive and seldom-seen sparrow species, just click on http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek021101.html for the 1-7 November 2002 installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond."

As always, there are lists of the week's banded species and recaptured birds--including two new species for the year--plus a mug shot of a diminutive Winter Wren.

Please forward this message to others who are interested in nature and birds. They can get a free weekly reminder for "This Week at Hilton Pond" by sending a blank e-mail to mailto:info@hiltonpond.org with SUBSCRIBE in the subject line.


Happy Nature Watching,


BILL
