If you like Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, you may be interested in
knowing what these little balls of fluff are doing within their
tropical wintering range right now--as we await their spring return
to breeding grounds in the U.S. and Canada.
The second installment (Week 2) of our recent hummingbird banding
expedition to Guanacaste Province is the topic for the 02-10 February
2008 edition of "This Week at Hilton Pond." The account includes lots
of photos of Costa Rican flora and fauna, people and places, so it
may take a while to load. I appreciate your patience as you click on
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek080202.html
Also included is a summary (through two weeks) of our Costa Rica
banding efforts, plus a miscellaneous note about Groundhogs and
Agoutis. A final report on Week Three in the tropics will follow in a
few days.
Happy (Tropical) Nature Watching!
