Purple Martin Forum

Thanks Dave, I have found the Martins do appreciate the involvement. When I am out there messing with the housing or just near by they will glide over and acknowledge me, at least I feel like they are appreciating it. I had mites last year on the babies so I swapped gourds with new nesting material ...

Thank you all very much! I got the repeater trap running today, I saw 4 sparrows this morning, so hopefully that takes some heat off the Martins, there is also one less starling in the neighborhood :) they can't get in the houses/gourds but they sure like to hang out like they can, luckily I have no...

Hey Guys,

I had 3 pair last year that fledged 10 successful fledglings. I hope it works out again this year!!

I am in Sedalia Mo. I have a Great friend that lives down the road from me that has helped me so much, I owe it to him for my success so soon.
