Aloe There: The "Oh-Sixers" In Costa Rica

After some delay, we've finally completed the summary report for our recent hummingbird banding expedition to Costa Rica. It's now on-line as the 8-21 February 2006 photo essay under "This Week at Hilton Pond."

We describe some interesting observations about Ruby-throated Hummingbirds on their wintering grounds and include other anecdotal information about the trip. There are lots of photos, so the page at may take time to load--especially if there's lots of Web traffic; if it's too slow, please try again later. Access the essay by clicking on the title above.

Also included this week is the link to an announcement about our next hummingbird excursions to Costa Rica in 2007, plus our usual list of birds banded and/or recaptured as of late at Hilton Pond Center.

Happy (Tropical) Nature Watching!
