The photo was taken at the BH Sanctuary last year by Rick Mei. The hummer is feeding at cardinal flower, a superb hummer-friendly perennial for Long Island.
The best place to get hummingbird plants on Long Island is at a surprisingly secluded spot in Medford, not far from the LIE. They have a new website and will be open this weekend. I predict they will be quickly sold out.
Please bear in mind that the Baiting Hollow Hummingbird Sanctuary is CLOSED until august. Please see these pages for updates.
Hello! I'm in Medford and would love to pick up some more plants... but the link doesn't seem to be working. Could you tell me where this place is?
