It's been an interesting week at Hilton Pond. Not too many new birds
banded, but lots of returnees, including a long-lost female
Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
To top off the week, our cherished Southern Magnolia tree is in full
bloom. For a photo essay about this "fairest flower of the south,"
please visit "This Week at Hilton Pond" for 1-7 June 2003 at
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030601.html.
As always, there's a list of all birds banded and recaptured during
the period, as well as a mug shot of a punk-rocker House Finch
nestling.
Happy Nature Watching!
BILL
