2 guests arrived right before dark, entered the house, and (hopefully) spent the night.
Alright!!! Congrats! Today I had 5 who I know were here last year because they remembered my flipping food to them. It was cold, in the 40’s, this morning. I went out and whistled. They looked so cold and wings a little droopy. So I thawed some crickets and went to them. Flipped and bang. I was windy and hard to get the crickets up to them. And don’t you know, the male and a female flew to my roof. The others followed and I did too. Less wind there and I was able to get the crickets to them easily. That’s where I fed them last year. Just awesome to connect with them and see them so close! Good luck this season. Brent BTW Warmer weather coming!!!
