Great story. Still remember putting up my first house as a young boy.

Thanks Matt. Hoping to get account tomorrow. I have been working nights so I haven't been able to view them the past couple of days.

I had 5 tonight, up from 3 yesterday.

Michael, I have 3 7 story goliads, 2 double alamos (that's two Alamo houses stacked on top of each other, another single Alamo, 2 trio castles, 24 unit gourd rack and all houses have 4 Troyer horizontal gourds hung under them. I also have a couple of trio houses dericated to trapping sparrows. I thi...

Hello all. Just wanted to share that I now have 2 male and 1 female martins. Started out with 1 male that showed up a couple of days ago and this morning I was lucky enough to witness the females arrival. She immediately vocalized, joined the male and started inspecting her house. She went straight ...

Email has been sent. Let me know if you don't get it.

I will take it. I have spare parts and would love to add it to my colony.

Good luck my friend! I am sure you will have some success!

Great picture. I always enjoy seeing other people's martins and setups. Thanks for sharing

Thanks!

Thanks. Glad you confirmed it.

Congrats.

I use my iPhone 6 for everything including viewing the internet. I am able to sign in to report a scout but when I get to the page to report it all I can see is a big gray square that is covering up some writing.

Archer answered it for you. It's not as user friendly as the previous scout report but I do like the ability to zoom in on your area on the map and see active colonies that are close by. I guess you have to take the bad with the good.

Below the map is a drop down menu where you can select the state you want to look at. Once you select the state you then hit the button next to the menu to view the list. Hope this helps. I should note I am viewing the website from my phone so yours may be formatted slightly different.

Same for me on the Texas coast. Went from 1 48 hours ago to over 10 today. Seemed like a new bird was coming in every couple of hours today.

Definitely slow! Usually have at least a couple of males by now but I have only seen one female and she showed up two days ago. It should pick up soon.

Yes it is and she was back this morning so I will go ahead and report her.

That is awesome. I know my little ones love the martins.

Finally saw a female yesterday afternoon. She was very vocal, made several passes but I did not see her stay. She could have come in when I was eating my dinner but at least I finally got to see one. Looking forward to the next couple of days, should see more come in. I am going to wait to report th...
