Need quick advice

[Michael N]

Just had a storm roll through, and winds were so strong it turned one of my gourds mounted under my trio by about 180 degrees. Last time I mount a gourd with zip ties. Currently have an ASY pair and 5 babies in there. Do I wait until morning to turn it back around?

Wait until morning!!! If you lower your rack at night you run the risk of flushimg your entire colony subjecting them to all kinds of problems they may not be prepared to deal with e.g., owl attacks, night predators and potentially not finding a safe roost for the remainder of the evening. Wait until morning and get your compass heading on your gourds back the way they should be. All should be fine tonight.
