The last week in March brought more rain to Hilton Pond Center for
Piedmont Natural History--and also a whole bunch of baby Wood Ducks.
For a photo essay about the sudden increase in our local waterfowl
population, visit "This Week at Hilton Pond" for the long week of
22-31 March 2003 at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030322.html .
As always there's a tally of all birds banded and a list of
recaptures. For all you butterfly enthusiasts there's a photo of a
new species for the Center--a Falcate Orangetip, and we include a
link to a page that describes our most recent banding encounter with
a Rufous Hummingbird.
BTW, our server seems a bit sluggish lately, so please be patient as
you try to access our Web sites. :-)
Happy Nature Watching!
BILL
