Bob, I believe you live in Missouri, as I do (Mid-Missouri). My blues have always overwintered with me since 2008. I switch from worms to peanut butter suet (which I make) around November or December, because cheaper & the worms won’t survive our cold weather too well. I too have a heater for my birdbath, small cheap one that works well. I also leave up my bird houses, but I have never seen them roost in them – but the HOSP will – VanErt trap is always ready! Good luck with yours staying around!
