In the meantime, here is a new video. The bird darts rapidly from flower to flower and there are moments when the he/she (it's an adult female or more likely a juvenile) is out of field. I can either zoom back and hope to have the bird in view again, or take my eye off the camera - neither technique is ideal. I am practising keeping one eye on the viewfinder and using the other to watch reality!
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).

Possible early opening?
Hummer activity has definitely picked up, and yesterday I saw a 3-hummer chase. If this continues I will be able to open somewhat earlier than planned, before the end of the month. Details will be posted on this blog - please do not visit except at posted opening times.
