Even with our rainy cool weather and many days of north and east winds, new arrivals have apparently been pretty steady. We had south winds Monday and Tuesday and this morning I had at least 25, maybe 30 birds out on the racks and flying around. No idea how many might have still been in the gourds. When they get above about 15 I can’t hardly get a good count.
