SANIBEL ISLAND
1994 to
Present
| In
October 1994 Jim migrated further south to Sanibel Island, Florida.
In the Northeast sector of the country, the majority of buyers knew
only waterfowl. But Jim quickly saw that his 25 years of creating
waterfowl sculptures was not going to attract such an avid following
in an environment that was home to Herons, Egrets, Wood Storks, Ibis
and the like.
He enthusiastically researched and observed a whole new spectrum
of bird life and though he had given up his private aviary in his
move south, he now had the entire J. N. “Ding” Darling Wildlife
Refuge as a new reference source. He became so interested and
involved in the Refuge that he was invited to join the auxiliary
Friends Society group, eventually becoming its president.
