[Pollinator] Hilton Pond 09/01/14 (New York Roadside Redux)

[Bill Hilton Jr. (RESEARCH)]

In late August I wandered north for several reasons, eventually alighting on the shores of the St. Lawrence River--a special locale I've visited before but never in late summer. As the 1-12 Sep 2014 installment of "This week at Hilton Pond" I offer a photo essay about the proliferation of roadside flora I found in and around Morristown NY. To view, please visit

(Note also my mention of the variety of pollinators that assure the plants' productivity.)

While there don't forget to scroll down for a list of birds banded during the period--including a big bunch of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.

Happy (Late Summer) Nature Watching!

BILL
