An Hour With A Dragonfly

We've been super-busy getting ready for the upcoming John Bachman Symposium at Newberry College (see http://www.johnbachman.org), but we managed two squeeze in an hour this week to watch some Eastern Pondhawks at Hilton Pond.

These common dragonflies are a delight to watch, although they're not always easy to photograph--especially in late afternoon. To view our "This Week at Hilton Pond" photo essay for 8-14 April 2006, please click on the title above.

As always, there's a tally of birds banded and recaptured, plus miscellaneous nature notes.

Happy Nature Watching!
