Gourd #2, must have a prize in there ??
Just an update ---- i spotted another SY-m and two females this morning. The fight is on to claim gourd #2 and several others. An adult female and sy female really going at it. Falling 12 feet to the ground over and over for 2 hours has to be exhausting. Egg laying has been delayed due to cool weather. I have 5 eggs, compared to 44 eggs this same time last year. Looks like some subbies still coming through the area. They better hurry space is limited !!
