Virginia & Tommy, I knew you would post...just knew it!!!! I so want to continuing hearing how Rufous Willie is doing and how long he dwells in this habitat which is also your habitat and which is so right for him at this present time. I delight in hearing how you see this fragile looking smallest of birds, how he is strong and healthy. Your happiness with his presence filters right through the screen ... Actually, I can feel your daily happiness and it comes through as a great joy to me. Your reports are a bright light on these cold winter days. So hope you do not become discouraged and stop reporting. I so hope you continue to help care for Rufous Willie and continue to brief us on his daily life. It is indeed a blessing to many... Thank you! Thank you!!!
