Get your skates on mate!!!!!
Congratulations Mick!!!!
I just happened to take a look at the forum and saw your post. I bet you're typing in your official siting right now.

We are ready to go here in Millstadt and so is Sharon in Ellis Grove. Just keeping our eyes on the sky.

You'll do alright with the weather, your birds know you offer food.

Best of luck this year!
Judy and Larry

Congratulations Michael! When Sharon see this she will be biting her fingernails since you live about a 100 miles North of her.

Yep I knew today was a beautiful southern breeze kind of Martin day! Congratulations Mic!

Mick,
That's awesome!! Have a great year. I thought I would see some today but I didn't. We had a good breeze from the south. Tomorrow and the next day we are supposed to have 50 to 60 mile per hour winds from the south. So maybe????? Anyways good luck!!

Kyler,
