Each April, this native vine delights the senses with its brilliant yellow flowers and indescribable scent. For a photo essay about Carolina Jessamine--and a warning about dangers it can bring--please visit "This Week at Hilton Pond" for 8-14 April 2004 at <<http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek040408.html>> Included, as always, is a list of all birds captured during the period--including our first rush of new and previously banded Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. There's also a mug shot of a male American Goldfinch that isn't quite in full breeding plumage.
