I had one male come in wed. with no gourds up, so i ran out and put 3 gourds on the rack, I had 2 yesterday, then came home today and had 5 here with 3 gourds up.. So i got 2 more gourds and put them on about 6 oclock..
Been haveing trouble with hosp, last year they took over 2 or 3 gourds, i been catching them in my trap pretty regular..

Way to go Johnny, glad for you. Have you heard from Archie? I bet he has a bunch by now. Tell him I said hi when you see him.

Have no idea what happened to them last year and they have not arrived yet this year. But then again, neither have all the barn swallows I usually have, so maybe they are all together somewhere, having a little party???
