We're pleased to announce the posting of our 400th installment of
"This Week at Hilton Pond"--even though this milestone photo essay is
about an invasive plant that has both good and bad attributes.
Indeed, Multiflora Rose looks good and helps wildlife, but it's the
bane of the farmer and those who treasure native flora. For photos
and info about this thorny shrub from Asia, please visit our 1-14 May
2008 edition at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek080501.html
And don't forget to scroll down after the photo essay to read about
this week's banded birds--plus some interesting recapture data on a
couple of Neotropical migrants and some rather old local avifauna.
Happy Nature Watching!
BILL
