Now that we've allowed it to become re-forested, the bird life is changing and we even have evidence for White-breasted Nuthatches breeding on site. For a photo essay about this interesting little cavity nester, please visit the 1-7 May 2005 installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond" at <<http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek050501.html>> As always we include a tally of all birds banded and a list of all interesting recaptures--including a slew of Tufted Titmice that showed up. There are also mug shots of a few of the spring migrant birds that flew into our nets, plus a note about a catastrophe of sorts at Hilton Pond.
