The hummers are coming and our time-honored map suggests when to have your feeder up to get the first Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. Installment #34 of “This Week At Hilton Pond North” is bird-centric, with images and info about Northern Flickers, Chipping Sparrows, and Pine Siskins—plus Wild Turkey videos. There’s an update on our huge colony of Wood Frog tadpoles, plus banding data and some interesting returns of migratory American Goldfinches. View the map and photo essay at https://www.hiltonpondnorth.org/twahpn-20260316.htm P.S. At the end there's also a link to our new podcast!
