I never knew your sanctuary existed and was very excited to read about it in Newsday. Of course, the minute I saw it, I vowed to come visit. I have actually planted a hummingbird bed in my backyard and have one (yes, one single female) visiting for the past 3 years. Unfortunately she doesn't seem to like the sugar water in the feeder and is here for the Crocosmia (which are all past their bloom time) and the black and blue Salvia. It would have been so nice to see more than one hummer! I really can't understand why this person had to be so mean. It really doesn't make any logical sense...<br />I hope you're able to reopen soon and we may come see these "fleeting beauties"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06592354130938766448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178530645168049349.post-3980246828233966362013-08-07T15:09:54.462-04:002013-08-07T15:09:54.462-04:00Thanks Linda for your encouragement.

I cannot blame Newsday: the sanctuary exists, their reporting was pretty accurate, and they pointed out one should check the blog before setting out. I had no control over the content, which I did not see beforehand, but it would have been nice to know when it would appear, so I could close a couple of days until interest died down. The main difficulty has been that a neighbor complained to the Town about traffic on the road (isn't that what roads are for? - but I forgot, in Riverhead it's the beaches that are made for automotive traffic). This has caused the temporary closing and further complications. If you want to visit soon, please write privately to me.Paul Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866196394764849380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178530645168049349.post-42003381521608162152013-08-07T14:50:21.310-04:002013-08-07T14:50:21.310-04:00So sorry to hear the hummingbird fever caused by N...So sorry to hear the hummingbird fever caused by Newsday. The place is awesome, from the hummingbirds to the plants and Paul's love and maintenance of the sanctuary. I hope the secluded peaceful atmosphere can be continued.<br />I was hoping to bring a few friends this week However it seems to be inconvenient at this time. Thank you Paul for all your efforts and keeping us informed.froufroufotoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155252582873963526noreply@blogger.com
