Well after learning to make peace with all of my TS the past few years and having no problems with BB...the day of change has arrived. I have 4 nests of TS with about 20 eggs right now. All has been pretty smooth on the interference front. I have tried to attract BB with my spare gourds the past couple of years, but they seem uninterested. The last 2 days a pair of BB has been very interested...unfortunately their interest is with a gourd on my PM rack. They have not allowed anything near the PM rack the past day or so.
I closed the PM gourd rack last evening and placed another gourd on a shepherd hook about 25 feet from the PM rack. I hope the BB get committed soon. I hate to loose the next 2 weeks in attracting any SYs. I would like to say..."What Next?" But I fear a nesting pair of 747s might be interested in my PM housing if i do...so I won't!
