I am playing the dawn song all day, smeared mud around the entrances, added pine needles in gourds and house, 2 decoys on top of one house, 1 decoy inside one of the houses, oh ya and mirrors in 2 cavities. I have what appears to be a sub adult male hanging around for the past 2 days. He is very vocal, I know when he is coming. He lands on the porch of the gourds and pokes his head in the entrance. He has gone inside the gourds for periods of time, after that he comes back out and looks around. He has been coming and going all day today. Yesterday when I saw them for the first time there were 4 or 5 together. I will see if he stays the night! :grin:

Excellent, hopefully he will bring his friends back as well. He will be out attracting a female. Fun to watch them convince her to stay with him. Keep doing what your doing.
