[birdky] Where Kentucky Birds Go

Although we tend to think of backyard birds in the U.S. and Canada as
"ours," many local species depart Kentucky habitats for the tropics
each fall to spend the winter in Central or South America. Recently
we were privileged to work with 60-plus Colombian conservationists on
San Andres Island in the Caribbean, helping teach them how to safely
capture, band, and monitor Neotropical migrant birds that are also
"theirs."
"This Week at Hilton Pond" we summarize our intensive and sometimes
harrowing two-week experience with lots of photos of island flora and
fauna, including some of an endangered endemic and the local
hummingbird species. To view our photo essay for 22 Oct-7 Nov 2005,
please visit the Web site for Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural
History, specifically at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek051022.html
The Web account is long with many images, so it may take a while to load.
Happy (International) Nature Watching!
