Due to a family medical emergency, we haven't posted "This Week at Hilton Pond" for a while, but we're back at it now with a photo essay about the "Spiders of August." If you think you've got a bad case of arachnophobia, it's time to confront your fears--perhaps by taking a look at the images and text within our installment for 1-31 August 2011 at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek110801.html
While there please scroll down for a list of all birds banded or recaptured during the period--you may be surprised at the number of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds--and to read a few miscellaneous nature notes. We also acknowledge those who recently have supported Hilton Pond Center's initiatives in education, research, and conservation. Happy Nature Watching!
