BASICS


BASICS: "Hummingbirds.....where is the person, I ask, who, on observing this glittering fragment of the rainbow, would not pause, admire, and turn his mind with reverence..." (J. J. Audubon).
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).

where to see hummingbirds on Long Island; more slots posted




Above are a couple of recent photos by Bridgette Kistinger, taken at Bayard Cutting Arboretum. The flower is trumpet creeper. Other good places are Mashomack Preserve (Shelter Island), Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge, Avalon Park (Stony Brook/Head of the harbor), and Alley Pond (Queens). But of course the best place is the BHHS! Here are some recent photographs.
