Ruby-throated Hummingbird numbers are starting to grow in the eastern U.S. 
right now, but in a couple of months nearly all these little balls of fluff 
will be down in the Neotropics. Care to follow them to see what they're up to?

Week One is full with 12 participants, so we've officially added another 
Operation RubyThroat hummingbird expedition to Costa Rica (east) for the week 
after Thanksgiving, 26 Nov-4 Dec. Afternoon side trips include tours of 
shade-grown coffee farm and orchid gardens. No experience necessary for a 
terrific nine-day trip that is very affordable; a portion of your fees is 
tax-deductible. Details at 
http://www.hiltonpond.org/CostaRica(east)AnnounceMain12.html . Please spread 
the word.

Happy Hummingbird Watching!
