Here's a close-up of the nest taken yesterday, one day after hatching. I think the babies are already almost double in size. No pictures today (we had friends from Prince Edward Island arriving). But here below is a slo-mo version of the baby feeding movie I posted yesterday. After initial credits, filmed from Calypso's beach in normal time, there's a clip in tenfold slo-mo showing Gumbo arriving on the nest edge. The next clip, at 4 fold slo-mo, shows her feeding her chicks. The last clip shows her continuing to feed, and departing, at normal speed.
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
