Thanks Klyer. I am not going to mess with it. Took me 2 months to get on the forum again because of my code not working and now when I go to projectmatinwatch it wants another code to get on there that's different from the forum. THIS YEAR I HAVE 67 PAIRS WITH 311 EGGS AND SO FAR 141 OF THE 311 EGGS HAS HATCHED. In 2012 I only had one pair that had 3 eggs and fledged 3 birds. I love my Purple Martins. Bluetick

Martin Colony History: 2016 Informed landlord now Have 2 pair returning from 2015 That is a miracle. Hoping for a very successful year, sparrow population on decline.
First house was plastic with crescent holes Had martins within a few days. Ignorant landlord gradually lost them
Then got Trio House and still lost most of them. Lots of sparrows

THIS YEAR I HAVE 67 PAIRS WITH 311 EGGS AND SO FAR 141 OF THE 311 EGGS HAS HATCHED. In 2012 I only had one pair that had 3 eggs and fledged 3 birds
WOW that is an PM explosion!!!! GREAT JOB & worth the waiting. Hoping for the same for Sharon.
I love my Purple Martins.
Well said. How can we help it??? They are sooo fascinating!
Download the Nest Check Form & print it & mail it in. You have some valuable information the association can use.
Good luck this year
