Thus, "This Week at Hilton Pond" we offer a photo essay that summarizes what has worked well for us--and that explains the value of habitat and water if you really want to attract birds. To view the installment for 1-7 November 2004, please visit <<http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek041101.html>> Maybe you'll find a few useful hints. :-) Included, as always, are lists of all birds banded or recaptured during the period at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History, as well as a mug shot of a locally uncommon Blue-headed Vireo.
