Here's their migration route heading north. Just change the date in the future. Since we moved FROM Ky to FL I've just about given up. Had 3 feeders in KY and used to go to Sams & buy 10 lb bags of sugar filling 3 feeders every other day. I had them show up in April and marked it on the calendar. They're like the buzzards at Hinkley. They returned the same day every year for 9 years that we lived in Ky. Almost the same day with Canadian Geese having young too. Mark it down next season. You'll be amazed. I miss them in FL

Thank you, F16 for that website. Very intersesting info! I have not thought of logging when I first see one in the spring. I don't know where you lived in KY but we certainly have our share here. I was cooking just over a gallon EVERY DAY up until today. The temp dropped to 39 last night and when I got home this evening I only had one empty feeder. We had one that we know was here for 4 summers. It made a very distinctive sound. Also had another one for two years that didn't have a single tail feather. Resilitent little creatures!

But, yeah I do see it. but yeah I see it.

Actually my powers of perception are so keen that I saw it immediately I see EVERYTHING ...... if you tilt your head almost horizontal to the left ...in the bottom half of the feeder you'll notice either a crosseyed Teenage Mutant Turtle or Robin the Boy Wonder or is it...could be Waffle in his Balaclava. Don't even get me started with all the stuff going on in the top left of the frame
