Hilton Pond 07/15/03 (Wandering Finches)




We got some interesting reports this week from the federal Bird Banding Lab, documenting that three finches banded at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History were encountered elsewhere, and one of those was far away.


The encounters--including one by Betty O'Leary of the Carolina Raptor Center--are described under the 15-21 July 2003 installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond." To view the photo essay, please go to http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030715.html

As always, there is a tally of all birds banded during the period, plus a list of all the local returns of banded birds, including Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. There's also a brief account of a recent trip to Hilton Pond by members of the Carolina Butterfly Society.


Happy Nature Watching!
