I bought a song magnet last fall and I cut a supergourd in half, mounted the bird magnet inside, used lexel to glue it back together, ran the power cord thru elbow vent. I mounted a decoy on perch in front of hole so a purple martin can't get in but it will think a Martin is inside. That will be on one rack and my dawnsong speaker is on my other rack. Hopefully I will have luck with the bird magnet. I had one pair with fledgings last year and about 10 others that stayed most of season.
2018 - 44 pairs, produced 100+ babies. Using 3 Super System 24’s.
