Hanging By A Toenail

Out looking for fall wildflowers at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont
Natural History, we came across a tiny ball of fur hanging from the
crotch of a Pecan branch. Turns out it was a bat.

There's more to the story than that, of course, as is revealed in the
8-14 Sep 2005 photo essay under "This Week at Hilton Pond." To view
the current installment, please click on the words "Hanging By A Toenail" above.

As always we include a tally of all birds banded, plus a list of
significant recaptures. There's also a mug shot of an immature
Black-and-white Warbler, our first of the year, as well as an update
on our hummingbird banding project.


Happy Nature Watching!
