Attached (hopefully) are pictures of the Highland Mall roost. They don't do it justice. A great show! Fun for the entire family.

Martin Colony History: Erected 1st house in 1997. Birds were checking it out before Mike got down from the ladder. Six cavities had a little colony 1st year. Grown to 88 cavities all gourds with near 100% occupancy. Most important factor for success is rain = bugs.

Wow, Burt!!!

Your photos are beautiful! The sunset was just an added bonus...

Don't feel bad - I do not think it is possible to capture the essence of a roost on film. You just gotta see it in person... :shock: :grin: :wink:

Thanks for sharing your photos...
Sincerely,
Laverne
