JUST WANTED TO THANK ALL WHO RESPONDED TO US ABOUT OUR CONCERN OVER CHANGING TO CRESCENT HOLES THIS YEAR FROM THE NORMAL ROUND ONES. YOU WERE RIGHT THAT THE MARTINS LEARNED TO USE THEM VERY QUICKLY. THOSE FIRST FEW DAYS WE WERE SO AFRAID THEY WOULDN'T, ESPECIALLY AFTER HAVING THE ROUND HOLES FOR 13 YEARS. WE'D LIKE TO REPORT WE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR, DESPITE THE HAWKS. THE MARTINS DID SEEM TO APPRECIATE THE NEW ADDITION OF CEDAR SHAVINGS AND PINE NEEDLES (WITH A LITTLE SEVIN DUST IN THE CEDAR SHAVINGS) AND WE WERE BUG-FREE THIS YEAR. ALL HAVE FLEDGED, BUT HAVE ABOUT 30 MARTINS STILL HANGING OUT. THIS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR AND THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE GREAT ADVICE AT THE START OF THE SEASON.

Congratulations on your great success. Sounds to me like you are doing things the right way, and that usually leads to success.
