[Native Gardening] Hilton Pond 11/01/10 (Greenbrier)

 

"This Week at Hilton Pond" we explore whether the scientific name of Greenbrier is a cruelty joke. For the discussion and some up-close views of this rambling native vine--including leaves, tendrils, flowers, fruit, seeds, and armor--please check out our photo essay for 1-10 November 2010 at <<http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek101101.html>>

While there, don't forget to scroll down for our usual list of birds banded and recaptured during the period, plus some miscellaneous notes about newly arrived winter migrants we haven't seen in a while, an inquisitive young lady who wanted to know about hummingbirds, and a flock of birds that imitated the Chinese New Year. We also gratefully acknowledge recent gifts from thoughtful supporters of Hilton Pond Center and Operation RubyThroat.

Happy Nature Watching!
