has its own extensive Web site. Click on the link above to learn all about hummingbirds.

For 43 years, we conducted year-round, long-term research, education, and conservation activities at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History near York, South Carolina. We moved operations in February 2024 to our new facility near Lansing in the Blue Ridge Mountains of upper Ashe County, North Carolina USA. Extensive informative Web pages for our former location are still available at HiltonPondCenter.
