Hilton Pond 07/22/03 (Hummingbirds)




With the arrival of August as "International Hummingbird Month," the current installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond" focuses on some things we know--and don't know--about Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.


To view the hummingbird photo essay for the long "week" of 22-31 July 2003, please visit the Web site for Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030722.html

There's our usual tally of birds banded during the period, as well as a list of interesting recaptures--including some hummingbirds. This week there are also mug shots of two lepidopterans, one diurnal and one nocturnal.


Happy Nature Watching!
