After three truly exciting and productive weeks of hummingbird field
work in Costa Rica and a fourth week making presentations in
Washington DC, we're finally back home in York SC and working our way
through our data and photos.
The 22 January-1 February 2008 installment of "This Week at Hilton
Pond" summarizes our Week One results and includes a ton of photos of
hummers, non-hummingbirds, and other flora and fauna, people and
places. The write-up will probably take a long time to load, so
thanks in advance for your patience; the photo essay is at
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek080122.html
There's also a summary of one day's worth of Hilton Pond banding we
completed before jetting off to the ruby-throat wintering grounds.
We'll summarize Week Two of the Costa Rica work in our next
installment.
Happy (Tropical) Nature Watching!
