This time of year they look especially gray. For a photo essay about this tall wader, please visit the 8-14 February 2005 installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond" at <<http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek050208.html>> As always, we include an account of birds banded during the week, as well as a list of returns--one of which was yet another ancient American Goldfinch.
