Jerome

Beautiful site n set-up
Congrats to the New Hosts!
Way Special to attract instant PM!
How many pairs?
Was this raised in 2015?

Jerome

Considering the springs we've experienced as of late.
May explain the large % of SY nesters in your colony!
Curious if others saw similar results.
Lets hope Mom Nature delivers Moderation ahead of PM for 2017

Allen
Have u heard how production went for other Hosts in our areas?

Allen

Fantastic increase in nesters, in spite of cold, slow start.

Might the lower fledge/eggs ratio, adversly affect the number of return nesters?
