Big news! As I join other U.S. citizens in celebrating the Fourth of July, I also observe another event: The publication of my 600th installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond." This anniversary edition returns to the Center's roots in answering the question: "What is the Piedmont?" and as a bonus includes a portfolio of 50-plus images of flora, fauna, and phenomena I've observed locally in 15 years since I started this blog. Also included is recognition for those special folks who contributed to Hilton Pond Center the latter half of June. It's all on-line athttp://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek140614.html
Don't forget to scroll down for a list of birds banded or recaptured during the period. (Note the especially old returning hummingbird.) Happy (Anniversary) Nature Watching! BILL P.S.
