Birds in Snow

It is really enjoyable to see what's happened This Week at Hilton Pond. The snow cover wasn't amazing this past week, but the bird studies really are. Be sure to scroll down that page to see the great photographs and read about them all. There is a good deal of information at Hilton Pond Center of Piedmont Natural History in York County, SC.

Director Bill Hilton Jr. is apparently heading for Costa Rica about this time to band hummingbirds in his Operation Rubythroat. Hmm.... it says space is still available for week two of this project. It would be so wonderful to go! For right now, I'll plan a field trip when he returns to Hilton Pond. What a treat it is to have such a resource and naturalist here.
