Hilton Pond 10/16/09 (White Hummingbirds)

[Bill Hilton Jr. (RESEARCH)]

For folks who feed hummingbirds, there's hardly anything more exciting  
than to have a white one show up unannounced among the normal-colored  
hummers. Thus, we devote our current installment of "This Week at  
Hilton Pond" to a gallery of white hummingbird images sent to us from  
across the country. To view our 16-21 October 2009 photo essay on  
albinos, leucistos, and pieds, please visit
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek091016.html

While there, remember to scroll down for a look at our weekly banding  
totals, plus miscellanous nature notes about Wood Ducks, the status of  
our endangered Schweinitz's Sunflowers, and our first White-throated  
Sparrow of the fall.

Happy NatureWatching!

BILL
