I still have 1 juvie resident, and picked up another one since last Thursday. It was very cold last night 36degrees. Reached our high of 51 deg. at 2:00, Winds W 16mph. Already down to 48 not even 5:00 yet. 34 tonight. She has been departure size since last weekend. The other travler, normal weight. She probably will stay to fatten up. Every 10 min. at the feeder. They were late this morning, 7:47 am. for breakfast. I will bring the feeders in again tonight. I'm thinking of cutting off the foot of an old wool sock to slip over the bottle during the day. I had 4 little travlers come out of the woods north of my yard, last Friday. One stayed last weekend, left on Monday. The others fed twice, than left. So besides my resident baby, I had 5 this past week.
