[Pollinator] Hilton Pond 07/01/14 (Midsummer Harvest)

[Bill Hilton Jr. (RESEARCH)]

Some flora wait until autumn to yield fruit, but many roadside species already have ripened seeds that are capable of propagation. "This Week at Hilton Pond" we took a stroll to see just what plants was part of "hot weather harvest."

To view what we found, please see the photo essay for 1-15 Jul 2014 athttp://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek140701.html . We include comments about pollinators that brought about the cornucopia and discuss some of the plants' importance to birds and other wildlife.

While there, don't forget to scroll down for a list of all birds banded or recaptured during the period--plus some miscellaneous nature notes.

Happy (Midsummer) Nature Watching!

BILL
