I now have five PM's, but at the same tim last year I had 12 PM's. I don't know if it's because of the lower temps the last week or so, or possibly a Cooper's hawk that's been frequenting my site........I have been a landlord six years, and had thirty pair this past year....but this year is REAL slow starting for some reason......

Gene, its too early to tell, especially since we had all of the cold weather here.

Emil....this is the slowest year I've had yet.....but also I remember last year the weather was nicer in mid March and could be the difference. If not, maybe I can go on Ebay and order some extra Pm's....eheh......
