HILTON POND
HUMMINGBIRDS
(Trochilidae)

Only one Hummingbird (Trochilidae) is expected at Hilton Pond Center, although there is always the possibility of a vagrant species showing up in fall or winter. Through the 2007 field season, more than 3,600 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and two Rufous Hummingbirds have been banded on-site.
