Hilton Pond 10/01/03 (Whirligig Beetles)




If you think your life is frantic, just be glad you don't have to spin around incessantly like the Whirligig Beetle. :-)


This interesting aquatic insect is the subject of "This Week at Hilton Pond" for the period 1-7 October 2003. To view the latest photo essay, please click on http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek031001.html

Included, as always, is a list of birds banded during the week at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History--including what may be the final Ruby-throated Hummingbird for the year--plus a mug short of a rather nondescript hatch-year Cape May Warbler.


Happy Nature Watching!
