Had a male come by on Monday night.... Excited to see him. He didnt land, so I didn't report... Watched ALL DAY yesterday and now he has a girlfriend! YIPEEEEEE.... They stayed the night, and had a lone female here too...

This morning there are 5 flying around so we shall see later who stays!

I am soooooooo excited!!!! Seems like we've all been waiting for the return of our friends! Now it's finally time....

Hope you all have a great season!

Congratulations, Adrienne!

It seems like the year is passing so fast, yet we midwesterners still are waiting for our birds. It's still too cold here though, so please give them warm blankets and keep them there for another few weeks!

Enjoy them!

Congratulations Adrienne,
It seems they are coming in everywhere for TX now. I saw my first male this morning as well. He was perched on the Trio and later was flying around and chirping as if to say hello. He is already guarding his place on the house so I think it is one of mine from last year. He chased off another male this morning, then he stayed on the porch guarding his area for about 30 minutes while I watched and took pictures. I think he was even posing! Anyway, looks like our season has begun!
