Hilton Pond 03/22/06 (Spring MIscellany)
With spring officially at hand, nature continues to unfold at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History. Of concern is the future of a massive White Oak struck last summer by lighting. Another mystery is what--if anything- is going on between our local populations of Purple Finches and House Finches. To view a "miscellany" photo essay about the oak, possible interactions between the two finches, and the story of one of our banded birds that was found far away from South Carolina, please visit our "This Week at Hilton Pond" installment for 22-31 March 2006 at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek060322.html
As always we include a tally of all birds banded, a list of interesting recaptures, and assorted nature notes. and for "Operation RubyThroat: The Hummingbird Project" at <<http://www.rubythroat.org>>

NASA Science News for April 4, 2006 -
Magnetic Moondust Researchers have noticed something odd about fine-powdered moondust--it's magnetic. This raises the possibility that magnets could be used for dust abatement when astronauts return to the moon. <<http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/04apr_magneticmoondust.htm?list111411>http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/04apr_magneticmoondust.htm?list111411>
