YUP! Soon as I get a few moments to myself, I'll put photos some place public and share the link.

It sure was nice having it at the Stohls again!

i haven't read all the posts, so forgive me if I am repeating something. I HATE the cheep cheep cheep. but I learned something this year. DO NOT go running out and clapping and scaring them away. They are very elusive and once you start doing that, they learn and learn fast. So...as hard as it was f...

DornCounty,

that is a great example of what I'm talking about. thanks for sharing.

WOW!!!!! THAT IS COOL! what a gift. she gets a virtual hi-five

Louise, i'd love to model something out, if you can share the data. :D

missed you on Saturday!!!

these are exciting events!!!! Hoping (and confident) they stay! That male swooping down on you will stay. Great stuff!

D'Nese said it pretty good...it hasn't been too favorable for martins up my way either.

Doug...you are not helping my fever any. thanks!

amen Louise! you will be helping other landlords out if nothing else! hehe
