[Pollinator] Hilton Pond 07/01/16 (Hot Summer Flowers)

[research at hiltonpond.org]

The current installment of “This Week at Hilton Pond” is all about flowering plants--both native and invasive--found blooming in recent mid-summer heat, with references to pollinators associated with those blossoms. Diverse plant families are represented by close-up images in what may be our most colorful posting ever!

To view the flower photos and anecdotal text for 1-15 July 2016, please see "Early July 2016: Hot, Humid, Windy . . . And Flowery" at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek160701.html

While there please remember to scroll down for a list of all birds banded or recaptured during the period, including our ever-larger population of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.

Happy Nature Watching!

BILL
