BASICS


BASICS: "Hummingbirds.....where is the person, I ask, who, on observing this glittering fragment of the rainbow, would not pause, admire, and turn his mind with reverence..." (J. J. Audubon).
This is a blog about my summer life at the Baiting Hollow Hummingbird Sanctuary, at my winter garden, Calypso, in the Bahamas, and aspects of life in general.
This private sanctuary is now permanently closed to the general public, as a result of a lawsuit brought by a neighbor. Only my friends and personal guests may visit (paul.adams%stonybrook.edu).

dime in the nest; garden scenes

Here's a photo of a dime placed in the now empty nest. As you can see it just fits. Bear in mind that the nest is shallower and the top wider than it was originally.

Holding a "rein" of the foxtail. The leaflet closest to the trunk of each "foxtail" leaf has a curious very long ribbon-like extension which almost reaches the ground
