This Week at Hilton Pond 02/01/01




HI . . .

If you've never taken a really close look at the winter plumage of 
the American Goldfinch, you've got a chance to do so on the Web site 
for Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History.

Just go to http://www.hiltonpond.org , click on the logo for "This 
Week at Hilton Pond," and select the week of 1-7 February 2001 to 
read about "Dressing Down for Winter."

Also included are the weekly bird banding totals and info about recaptures.

I didn't send out a message on Groundhog Day this year, but 2 
February was the first anniversary for Hilton Pond Center's Web site. 
There have been nearly 11,000 hits to the main page--and who knows 
how many surfers cheat and bypass the Web counter!  :-)

Anyway, thanks for taking time to browse the site and especially for 
following "This Week at Hilton Pond." I hope it's as much fun for 
folks to read these weekly postings as it is for me to put them 
together. (BTW, I don't get a lot of postings to the Guestbook; 
perhaps you could leave a message on one of your visits.)

*******

There are now hot buttons on the Web site for Hilton Pond Center that 
make it easy for you to support our education and research efforts by 
direct donations or by participating in an on-line auction. I'd 
appreciate your checking out these new features.

Lastly, one of the "outreach efforts" of Hilton Pond Center is the 
new Nature Study Network. You can join via the sign-up at "This Week 
at Hilton Pond"


Happy Nature Watching,

BILL
