I think I'm on the first steps of what will be a long recovery, but I should be able to film any hummers that come to my newly-hung feeders, and hopefully have something for this blog. I appreciate your kind encouragement. Let's hope the summer is good hummerwise!Paul Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866196394764849380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178530645168049349.post-34635929581638968292015-04-21T19:10:22.999-04:002015-04-21T19:10:22.999-04:00Hi Paul...

I feel that Yes you should do as you wish with your property. I have to tell you that I have learned so much from visiting and volunteering at your sanctuary. I share all I have learned with everyone so that this continues for many years to come. I remember the very first time I saw a ruby throat was at my childhood home under my granmother's mimosa tree. Ironically,my home was close to Islip Terrace where my daughter's friend saw her first one ... I was transfixed watching and could not breathe and thought I must be seeing things. Once I made my first visit to your sanctuary, I came home and put up feeders and planted more butterfly bushes and one night almost burst from excitement at my first real sighting .. I had seen one years before looking but had no idea what to do .. until I met you and learned from your sanctuary . I owe this passion to you . If you did nothing else Paul, you lit such a fire under those of us who value the beautfy of hummingbirds and from you have learned how to bring them to us and keep them coming back and sharing the magic with everyone we meet . Thank you from the bottom of my heart .. as much of this came at a time in my life where I needed some magic and it came in the form of a tiny beautiful bird and man who has an amazing passion for sharing his knowledge of them.. whatever happens .. I will never forget and not stop telling the story of your sanctuary, Someone should write a book about you .It would be lovely . Love and Hugs ...

Last year I found your blog and read about your experiences. While it's not quite the lovely sanctuary you have created, I now have a successful hummingbird garden in NYC. So thank you!
