Purple Martin Forum

This is a decoy I came up with last year and thought some of you out there might be interested.

If you could post your e mail address I would send you some pictures of some poles I have made.

No one knows when they will leave but it's my guess they were one month early and they will leave about a month early. I would guess they could start leaving about the 15 of july and be gone by the first of August.

Martins have been gathering for the last two weeks at the St francis area. This is at St Francis and Ninth,,West of the tracks. The best tim is at 8:35 to 9:10 in the evening. There is starting to be quiet a few birds.

If you could send me your e mail I would send you some pictures of a possable solutiion to your problem.

You might check at a flower shop. I think they might use small bambo sticks like you are looking for.

I live just east of Wichita, Kans. and I saw five Bluebirds yesterday. I normally see bluebirds year round.

Shot these last nigh,and though I would share.

First of all ,I am sure you are not stupid, but not aware. It has been going on for about a month and will go on for about another two weeks. It is hard to tell how many birds we are talking about but, there are thousands. If you like Purple Martins you need to see this. This is at the intersection ...

Just got home from the roost and happy to say everything is ok. Still lots of birds.

I don't know if you can see what they mean about a slot in this picture or not. If you can't E-mail me and I'll try to find another.

You might try to two or three "C" clamps on the poll which will give you handles. Just a idea.

trank; the second photo if you make the picture larger, you can see it is a very different style of gourd rack. I wonder how much bouncing each gourd does,I do like the style. Thanks for posting the pictures.

I would think you could contact The Martin Market Place, and ask there shipping dept. and see if they could tell you what it weighs.

Ed. Check your e mail on this form.

I think you have a very good idea. Go for it.

I have the operational manual for my 1966 Craftsman radial arm saw. I think this is what you are looking for. The only bad thing ,it's 100 pages .I don't know how I could copy it for you. If this is what you are needing ,give me a call. 316-733-4649.

The attached photo is how I attached my pole and ground socket together. If I should take down my pole there would be about two feet sticking up to mow around. This is by far not the only way to do this, but I thought it might help you.
