Same here. If i cant get them to come in right away in the morning, I usually wait til 9 am, which i call the magic hour. I cant count the number of times after 9 am the toms get lonely and start looking for another girlfriend, which can be a very easy time to call them in. Seems like they get real vocal again too.
