Hi - we have a business referral. We had a front door that was eaten up with termites. We went to the glass shop next to El Toro Luna and had them make us a new glass and aluminum front door with a aluminum frame. The also made us a new aluminum screen door as well. We ordered them on Friday morning and they made them and installed them both on Saturday afternoon. They look excellent and their price seemed very fair as well. We are really pleased. Please be sure to use our local craftsmen - they are really excellent at what they do!

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

a. Hummingbirds
The Xantus Hummingbirds (the ones with the white stripe over their eye) are indigenous to Baja, and generally do not migrate. http://www.hummingbirds.net/xantus.html The Costa’s Hummingbird (the ones with the brilliant purple head) are also here year-round. http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/223/_/Costas_Hummingbird.aspx They like it just fine right here! We’ve lived here 10 years, and have noticed their absence from our feeders at about this time every year. If you look around, you’ll notice the Cardon cactus blooming, as well as many other trees and shrubs. We figure they’re out at their favorite cactus grove feeding on their favorite flowers. Both varieties will come back to your feeders this spring, and we’ve seen them here in great numbers just before we “migrate” north in July!
