First Hummingbird date correction



HI . . .

I need to correct the date in a previous posting; the first 
Ruby-throated Hummingbird at Hilton Pond was indeed seen today, 3 
April (not 4  April, which is tomorrow).

Saturday was April Fool's Day and on Sunday we went to Daylight 
Savings Time. The combination of these factors made me assume that in 
a Leap Millennium Year I was supposed to add an extra day to the 
month of April to make my data come out right.

A thousand pardons,

BILL
