Last Friday a little gal showed up and spent the night. Saturday the 10th flew around while I was trying to finish hanging some gourds. She was so quiet and never made a peep. Yesterday she was still very quiet. ]BUT IT ALL BROKE LOOOOOOOOOSE THIS MORNING. :lol: Such beautiful singing and they were having a blast. Can't wait for all of them to come home.
You can please some of the martins some of the time, but you can't please all the martins all of the time.

Thanks folks, I appreciate it and hope that each has a wonderful martin year. Those that have never had birds to stay, I wish them the best because I know what it's like to read and hear of others that have birds and you have none. I tried for twenty years before it all came together for me. Once they started, my colony really flourished. God Bless each and all. Joe
