For a peek at Wood Duck aesthetics and our "This Week at Hilton Pond" photo essay for 15-21 February 2005, please visit <<http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek050215.html>> As always, we include a report on birds banded during the period, as well as a list of all recaptures. The latter include-- or the third week in a row--another very old American Goldfinch. Note that we have a few slots open for our ever-popular Hummingbird Mornings banding demonstrations AND we have opened registration for our next winter hummingbird expeditions to Costa Rica in November/December.
