Although we were away from Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural
History for much of the week, we still managed to band a few
hummingbirds--and a Red-shouldered Hawk that hit the nets one morning.
For a photo essay about this raptorial species, please visit "This
Week at Hilton Pond" for the period 1-7 August 2003 by clicking on

As always there's a list of all the birds banded during the week.
On 9 August we'll be in Fredericksburg VA for our second "Hummingbird
Mornings" banding demonstrations of the year. Details at

Happy Nature Watching!
