[Pollinator] Hilton Pond 05/22/06 (Anglepod Pollinators)

[RESEARCH Hilton Pond]

We came across a new vine at Hilton Pond Center this week--an unusual 
relative of milkweed called "Anglepod." What was also unusual was the 
kinds of pollinators this native flower was attracting, and how it 
was attracting them.

For a photo essay about Anglepod and its pollinators, please visit 
the 22-31 May 2006 installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond" at 
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek060522.html

We also have good news to report: We finally banded our first 
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds of the year AND recaptured some returns 
from previous years. Details about these birds and other bandings and 
recaptures for the period are included in this week's account.

Happy Nature Watching!
