[Pollinator] Ragwort Pollinator

[RESEARCH Hilton Pond]

Small's Ragwort is one of those composite wildflowers that can 
actually be identified with some confidence--mostly because it's one 
of the few DYCs blooming in spring at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont 
Natural History.

For a photo essay about this eye-pleasing yellow blossom--and its 
surprising pollinator--please visit the 1-7 May 2006 installment of 
"This Week at Hilton Pond" at 
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek060501.html

As always we include a list of birds banded and recaptured, along 
with some general phenology notes.

Happy Nature Watching,

BILL
