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

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!
BILL
