Hello everyone, 26-27 degrees F for 4 hours here in Palm City last nite and just a smige warmer the previous evening. Coldest we've had since 1989 according to the local news. There were 4-6 birds hanging around the colony about 9 this morning looking fit and no worse for the temps. Thank Goodness. How you guys over in Louisiana fare? Mike

Got up to 68 here today in SWLA! No PMs yet here. Last year my 10 early returners perished during another extreme cold front. Hopefully, it won't happen again this year!
It’s been very cold. Had several mornings of hard freeze temperatures. I had 2 martins on February 1st but haven’t seen them since. Last year at this time I had at least 4 hanging around. This morning nothing???? High today around 72. Should be seeing a lot of birds soon!! Brent
