Even with this years late spring arrival, my colony has departed for the year. Just starting a major heat wave here in Missouri , maybe they are trying to beat that. Not a bad year overall with the chilly and very wet spring.

Same here just east of you. Normally I have some hanging around into August but there are very few if any still around. I saw about 6 this morning but they looked like fly bys trying to get the decoys to follow them. I will pull the decoys down shortly.

This morning my Martin's were acting very agitated flying about from guord to guord. Then by noon they were gone. Was hoping to enjoy them a while longer.
In NW Missouri where 36 and 35 meet.
