[Pollinator] Hilton Pond 07/01/12 (Two New Wildflowers)

[Bill Hilton Jr. (RESEARCH)]

July was incredibly busy for us in the Carolina Piedmont and we were unable to put together our usual series of photo essays. Thus, we condensed our efforts into a single installment we're calling "This MONTH at Hilton Pond" to cover all 31 days. It doesn't chronicle everything we observed in that lengthy span, if course, but does include exciting news about two native wildflowers new to Hilton Pond Center--one pollinated by insects and they other by hummingbirds. To read about and view images of these newly discovered species growing on the banks of Hilton Pond, please visit our 1-31 July 2012 edition at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek120701.html

As always we provide an account of all birds banded during the period, as well as a list of a substantial number of returning Ruby-throated Hummingbirds--two of which are amazingly old.

Happy (Midsummer) Nature Watching!

BILL
