Go cheap like flyin lowe said. it works fine

You can do now if you want. Just make sure you will be able to mow between your set ups . Your birds will be nosey as heck and will most likely land on it as soon as you have it up. I usually keep mine around 10- 15 feet apart.
Good Luck.

yes there are martins all around you, Webb City, Joplin. and more. if you go back to the home page on this site and click on Scout Arrival study and the select Mo and the click view reports and that will show you who all has martins so far. you can pick your year too and maybe check Arkansas too sin...

You can use the same user name and password as...

Good Luck
