Caught a weak PM today on the ground. Have it in a 5 gallon bucket feeding it scrambled eggs. Temps supposed to be good this week. Saw a few others with really droopy wings.
We'll see.

Good to know that your helping the little guy out. Weather hasn't been good for a few days, but this evening the wind died and it actually felt nice outside. Thursday we fed ours crickets,only a few takers. Friday and Saturday handwarmer and crickets went into the open compartments. Most were eaten. Today we checked housing and opened more compartments. More birds came in late today. Found no dead in housing, but don't know if any weaken one's dropped elsewhere. I hope we have some good feeding weather for a spell, they can use a break.
Good luck with the bird, he's in good hands.
Wishing you a great year!

I have been concerned also. The "peep-frogs" even went quiet Friday and Saturday night but we're in full vocal form tonight. Praying the cold is behind us.
Blessings,
Rocky
