Purple Martin Forum

Is this a Martin being chased off by a starling? It’s 04/17 and we just had snow here. Don’t know about opening up the condos yet. The PMCA gourds just have some HOSPS checking them out.

Greetings everyone, I’m excited to be here. I learned about PCMA only after investing in a Martin apartment complex. Darn. Good stuff in this store. 2022 was the beginning and a disaster. Nothing but sparrows and starlings. 1 wren. Our starter kit was a 12 room with a 4 piece pole and 4 plain gourds...

2022 was a disaster for us newbies. There’s a colony .5 miles away at the beach but the housing doesn’t make for easy nest checks and the landlord seems to be OK with house sparrows living amongst the Martins.
