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
