Hilton Pond 08/22/03 (Leucistic Hummer)




After banding the albino Ruby-throated Hummingbird at Chapel Hill two weeks ago, we've several reports of white hummers--including one in Bethany SC not far from Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History.


To view a photo essay about the Bethany bird--which was leucistic rather than albinistic--please visit the 22-28 August 2003 installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond" at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030822.html

As always, the weekly posting includes a list of all birds banded during the period.


Happy Nature Watching!
