Looks like your year is going well.

2011 A pair of subbies fledged three young but none returned in 2012 :-(
2015 One Pair of subbies came and stayed a few nits but got chased away by Bluebirds and Tree swallows. :-(
2017 0ne pair of subbies nested and fledged 4 young
2018 Tree Swallows AGAIN chased away any martins that wanted to nest :evil:
2019 Same old story................ :-(

My baby numbers are up this year over last. I had way more visitors in the spring. The house sparrows are bad this year, as a matter of fact I have eliminated two since my first post.
