I just received 12 super gourds with crescent entrances. I know its late in the season but should I go ahead and hang them or just wait till next year. I was just thinking it would give them another option for nesting if I were to get a pair of PM. JHCox

Go ahead and hang them. Any additional attraction to a site is beneficial. It will also allow the fledglings from this year to get a look at what is available for next year at your place.
