Hilton Pond 01-22-08 (Costa Rica #1)

After three truly exciting and productive weeks of hummingbird field
work in Costa Rica and a fourth week making presentations in Washington
DC, we're finally back home in York SC and working our way through our
data and photos.

The 22 January-1 February 2008 installment of "This Week at Hilton
Pond" summarizes our Week One results and includes a ton of photos of
hummers, non-hummingbirds, and other flora and fauna, people and
places. The write-up will probably take a long time to load, so thanks
in advance for your patience; the photo essay is at
<<http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek080122.html>>

There's also a link to a description of how to sign up for NEXT year's
expeditions, plus a tally of one day's worth of Hilton Pond banding
we completed before jetting off to ruby-throat wintering grounds.
We'll summarize Week Two of the Costa Rica work in our next
installment.

NOTE: "This Week at Hilton Pond" is a FREE education outreach
initiative of Hilton Pond Center. Please consider supporting it and
our other non-profit programs with your tax-deductible contribution.
You can send a check by U.S. mail or contribute on-line via PayPal

New Radar Maps of the Moon
NASA Science News for February 29, 2008
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/29feb_radarmoon.htm?list111411
New high-resolution radar maps of the Moon's south pole reveal a fantastic land with
peaks as high as Mt. McKinley and crater floors four times deeper than the Grand Canyon.
NASA has used the data to create a dramatic VR movie of a moon landing from the point of view of an astronaut.
