Martin Colony History: Had my site up to 22 gourds of which most (+/-3) stayed occupied.
Downsized to 17 gourds due to back surgeries. Had 14 families in 2017 but did not do nest checks due to health. Feeling better in 2018 and hoping for a good year.

Very very nice!!!! :)

sg45 a beautiful lay-out, very impressive. If you see this picture Mr. T, you will understand why you don't have any martins at your site. This landlord probably has 95% of the martins in the state of Miss. at his/her site. :grin:

Awesome. :-) Maybe this nice wind we have today will help blow some up my way... still waiting on my babies. They weren't here til March 14 last year though, so I shouldn't worry yet I suppose. If I wasn't a second year, I probably wouldn't be so nervous lol.
