The above picture was taken a couple of weeks ago at the sanctuary by Jimmy Chiu. The hummingbird is feeding at Crocosmia "Lucifer". While this is not a top hummer plant, because it does not carry as much nectar as stalwarts such as anise or rosebay salvias, the flaming red flowers carried on high stalks above the tall sword-shaped leaves are highly visible in july. It does quite well at the sanctuary.
On the Interesting Websites feature of this blog, to the right -> you will see a link to a wonderful webcam showing activity at feeders in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland, where Camp David is located. This webcam is maintained by the brother of Lanny Chambers, whose excellent hummingbird website is also listed there. Initially there's an ad, but you can skip that after a short while.
