Martin Colony History: The 1972 St. Agnes flood wiped out all the Martins in my area. One day, in 1997-98, 5 or 6 Martins landed on the power wires crossing my back yard. I had no house for them. They kept coming back day after day. We got a martin house a few weeks later & they have been coming back every year since. I average 12-15 pair per year.

Congrats. Noting here yet.

My wife and i were out in the yard cleaning up a bit and she said " i hear a martin"...she was right, he circled around a bit and came in to my oldest box to check it out. I forgot how much i missed their beautiful song!
