Although trees are easily identified by their leaves, trying to ID
them by their bark in mid-winter is a bit tougher. The current
installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond" puts winter naturalists to
the test with a mini-quiz entitled "Tree Bark Baffler #1."
Just click on http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030108.html for the
week of 8-14 January 2003 for photos of bark from several "mystery
trees" growing at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History.
As always, there's a tally of birds banded during the period. once
again, there is an interesting list of recaptures of an elderly batch
of American Goldfinches banded at the Center during the last century.
Please forward this message to others who are interested in nature
and birds. Anyone can get a free weekly reminder for "This Week at
Hilton Pond" by sending a blank e-mail to mailto:info@hiltonpond.org

Happy Nature Watching, and Happy 2003!
