While we were snowbound "This Week at Hilton Pond North," life went on for wildlife in frigid mountain woods as the cycle of nature had an impact on a particular White-tailed Deer buck. Hundreds of birds from Mourning Doves to Eastern Towhees to American Goldfinches mobbed our feeding station and our pond stayed frozen solid to the exclusion of Wood Frogs, on standby for early breeding. All this and our usual tallies of birds banded or recaptured are at https://www.hiltonpondnorth.org/twahpn-20260203.html. Please take a look.
Happy Nature Watching!
