Despite the ever-present possibility of a March snowstorm, "This Week at Hilton Pond" we saw some definite signs of spring, from blooming wildflowers to molt in Northern Cardinals and American Goldfinches. To view these spring phenomena, please visit our 1-7 March photo essay at <<http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek050301.html>> As always we tally birds banded during the week and include a rather long list of interesting recaptures. We also describe a Rufous Hummingbird that we weren't able to capture and band in Columbia SC.
