Birding Paton Center for Hummingbirds & Blue Haven Road

I arrived at the Center at a little after 10 and stayed until almost noon. It is fairly accessible (The Road is all Car birding, so very accessible), most of the paths near the Parking are smooth and could be navigated by a Wheelchair. There are port-o-potties on the property. Lots of places to sit around the center.

I was greeted by a volunteer and he pointed me in the direction of the Violet-crowned Hummingbird. It wasn't there when I arrived, but there were also not a lot of people, so the wait was also fruitful. By the end of my session there were too many people in the area for my taste, which is why I moved on.
