There's a feeder just outside the windows near where we usually eat our meals; here's a typical example of what goes on. The bare branches you see are those of a frangipani tree (or "plumeria"), which is leafless until mid-may, when it explodes in yellow flowers, followed by its summer foliage (which blocks the view of the pond). Other frangipanis nearby are white and have delicious fragrance, and still others are red, pink or orange.
A blog that provides up-to-date information about the world's leading (according to Google) hummingbird sanctuary, on high bluffs overlooking Long Island Sound, Riverhead, New York. The sanctuary is private and not open to the general public. Paul's Email: paul.adams%stonybrook.edu. We sometimes livestream from the sanctuary, at youtube.com/channel/UCvTj9WdD0zItyBLI6m-U9Og/live
BASICS
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).
