soon back on Long Island

We will soon be back on Long Island, and I'm eager to see whether hummers have returned to Baiting Hollow - friends have been maintaining feeders there for several weeks but I do not yet have reports of hummer sightings. In the mean time I'm posting a few snaps from last summer - specifically from Danny Hauben's visits. Danny is an artist from the Bronx, who spent a summer residency at Riverhead's East End Arts Center. Here's one of the scenes he did.


And here's the result in progress

  2. I saw my first hummingbird of the season this evening. He was a beautiful mature male. He was trying to drink from my feeder, but it was so full of water from all the rain. I quickly refilled it and he came back twice to feed. So delighted. I am in Bayport, LI, and it was about 7 pm when he visited.
