Its gonna snow here again wed nite & thurs. Looks like its gonna warm up next week hope they stay south till then!!

I have tried feeding eggs and crickets with no luck they just sit on perch rod and watch them go by when i flip them guess im not doing something right any suggestions

I sure hope they wait a few days its cold in NC 8 here this morning had my first one to arrive last year on Feb 20th but it got cold after that and i didnt see them again for about a week.

Wish it would hurry 8 here in North Carolina this morning.Hope they wait a little while before they come back. Burrrrr

Hope so im ready for them.

Waiting in N.C shouldnt be long my first one arrived last year on Feb 20th.

This is my third year i have 24 troyers with conley entrance i am full all but one gourd and have 81 eggs so far
