In general, folks who follow hummingbirds in the eastern U.S. report
fewer vagrants this winter than in some years past. Nonetheless, we
did manage to capture a young male Rufous Hummingbird at Matthews NC,
and that's the topic of our current "This Week at Hilton Pond" photo
essay. To view our 8-14 January 2009 installment, please visit

As always we include a tally of all birds banded during the period,
along with an interesting assortment of recaptures.
Happy Nature Watching!
