I've been a month (?) with only one pair....yes they were early....and no other visitors.
Then all of the sudden what to my wondering eyes this morning but two more ASY Males have shown up.
They are all fighting over housing....c'mon guys - there ARE 12 holes!!! :lol:
I'm soooo thrilled to finally see some more birds!
I don't think I've gone crazy as most of the other established colonies in town don't seem to have birds yet but it's ABOUT TIME!!!! :roll:
Poor Edgar. He's defending "His" houses against a whole invading army! :roll: :lol: 8)
Proud "Mother" of Edgar / Dottie and (32?) 2009 Fledglings!!! :D

Shari,
No PM's in WI. It won't be until mid april before we see any ASY's.
Old man winter still has its grips on us. Yesterday snow ,freezing rain, and wind. Warm weather can't come soon enough.
