It was inevitable that after 10-plus inches of rain from Hurricane
Fay fungi would pop up all over Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont
Natural History. Little did we know, however, there would be a
veritable "Mushroom Rainbow," with all sorts of unusual shades and
hues.
To view our photo essay about this amazing spectrum of fungal color,
please visit the 8-14 September 2008 installment of "This Week at
Hilton Pond" at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek080908.html
As always we include a list of birds banded and recaptured during the
period, plus miscellaneous nature notes and a mug shot of a
Worm-eating Warbler.
Incidentally, only a few slots remain for Weeks One and Three of our
annual Hummingbird Expeditions to Costa Rica, but Week Two (3-11 Feb
2009) is now open to the general public.
Happy Nature Watching!
