I've been wondering where they are as well. Seeing your post, I looked
up last years pix's and saw that our first ones appeared Nov. 24th of
last year and left around Mar. 2nd this year. This Fall has been
milder (at least around here) so maybe they'll show up again before
long. I live near the Red River in TX which is only about 80 miles
farther South in latitude than Memphis.
