South Carolina's most active bird banding station is Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History near York. Equidistant from the mountains and the coast, the site is by no means a migratory pathway, but we've still managed to band nearly 45,000 birds of 123 species since 1982--including nearly 3,000 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.
Banding results are published regularly to the Center's Web site at http://www.hiltonpond.org, particularly under a series of photo essays entitled "This Week at Hilton Pond. The current installment at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek040515.html focuses on Green Frogs but includes a list of birds captured or recaptured during the period.
If you'd like a free on-line subscription to these weekly essays and banding reports, just send a blank e-mail to [email protected] with SUBSCRIBE in the subject line. I hope you'll enjoy exploring the entire Web site and many photos of birds that we've banded in South Carolina.
Happy Banding (or Ringing)!
