Hello everyone, Back 8 days now from my trip out of town (Costa Rica) and still no martins. Have seen these guys as early as late December/early January in years past since landlording but not this year. I see on the "arrival" map sightings up and down Florida but none here in Palm City. Maybe soon. Mike
