- Martin Colony History: My father has started the Martin Colony back in 2000. To this day we have had about 40 to 45 pairs of Martins. We use 5 Martin houses and a few gourds, unfortunately the Martins prefer the houses over the gourds, but we still put them up.
Took some pictures of the female Martins eating this morning, was mainly the females eating the most! Gave them crickets and scrambled eggs a few of the males ate quite a bit of the scrambled eggs the second go around. Thankfully, they are getting used to eating the eggs. Can't wait until Wednesday and Thursday as it's going to be in the 70's with SUN :D Hoping more Martins come as our number count is still down.
