We're trying to get caught up on our "This Week at Hilton Pond"
postings after putting together four lengthy Costa Rica hummingbird
banding summaries, so we've combined the first two weeks of March to
make the next installment. This one's about our early March snow, a
Rufous Hummingbird we banded in Rock Hill SC, and some ducks that
came to visit.
To view our photo essay smorgasbord for 1-14 March 2009, please visit

We also banded a lot of birds at Hilton Pond Center during that
fortnight; they're listed along with significant recaptures--some of
which were rather old.
Happy Spring Nature Watching!
