Have any of the drugs you have taken given you a lasting negative effect? Like momory loss, bright light fright, concentration difficulties. If so, which ones?

To lose my hearing would be such a great loss. Do you listen to music? Can you recognize different pitches? Are you musical? What do you enjoy/not enjoy about music?

Vancouver Island here. I maintain a feeder all year round and there are hummingbirds who stay through the winter, or are passing through. While not cold by Canadian standards, the weather always gives us a few weeks below 0 C (32 F), and last year we were dumped on with over 3 feet of snow. I think Rufus Hummingbirds can stay here all winter.

Does this seem plausible that humming birds stay all year? Is it more likely that I, not able to diffrentiate between individuals, am seeing migrating birds passing through? My feeder is not readily visible.

Thanks for the reply!

That is so good to hear! Music is such a good thing to experience.
