Hello y'all - Had 2 birds on the 20th and now I'm up to 8. Perfectly clear evening and daytime temps here in Palm City, FL reached the mid 80's. Mid section of our country is suffering. Strong winds all day out of the south due to the storm (I presume) and I suspect it's pulling in birds from the south. Slow down guys; weather to the north is grim. How are my friends doing in Louisiana? Mike. Geaux Tigers!

Going great for you!! Please keep them all there for another week or two. We are freezing here! Another cold(er) front expected this next weekend. Not looking good for a welcome party.

Amen Mr Conrad, we don’t need those sweet Martin Babies here in Toledo Bend Country, Louisiana. Temperature predictions in the morning Jan 31, is 10 degrees. I’m very sure that I won’t make it through, lol.
Not at all what this area is used to.
