Just returned from going to the roost tonight and here is what I found. Nothing! They have all left for the year as I did not see one single PM. I wish them well on their journey back.

Tom

I need to go check it out before they leave. It's been two years since the last time I was there. I know they have moved over a block or two but is shouldn't be too had to find.

Tom

I have eight Wren house's, So just get them their own housing and enjoy!

Excellent video. Thank You!

Deb, I always use photobucket but never had to resize a photo. Go back to your 1976 sears catalog post. Look at the photobucket link you posted. Where did you get that link? :grin: If that had a in front of and behind the link, the picture whould have shown up in the post. birdy girl, In photobucket...

I just copy and paste right to the text box. Makes it easy.

Nope No Tulsa in the list of towns that start with "T" here in Kansas.



I do think it was a mistake as they listed last year from Tulsa OK.

You got a Martin and all i'm getting here is rain rain rain, all day long....
Congratulations!

The Hunter Starling Trap and the S & S Controller both look like they work on the same basic principal. I think they would work great around here where the starling and sparrows are everywhere, plus it's a very low cost build if you can find some leftover drain pipe from someone's project at the...

Great video Vern. I thought the one on the end was a decoy until it finally moved.

What type of material are they made of ? PVC Sheet ? If so I have some small strips in gray you can have if needed.

David,
Just wondering if you are using any tunnel's on your BO-11's and which entrance you are using.

Tom

Tony, I think the Daily's have reported scouts before. Hopefully it's the same starling since Elk Falls and Elk City are about twenty miles apart. The Martin's still need to be in Texas with "Rocky Road" now on it's way. I'm beginning to dislike snow as I haven't shoveled this much in year...

I do not know if it's the same problem or not but I had trouble last week and ended up deleting my old bookmark and then making a new one.
Here is the thread from last week. http://www.purplemartin.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24288

aarosport,
Have you decided on which Trio house you are going to get?
If you want to add a few gourds to your housing, let me know as I have some new Bo9's that are just collecting dust.

Tom

I use the really cheap bird feed mixed with bread crumbs. Draws the sparrows and starlings in like a magnet.

Zero Finches so far this year but I have only had my new Droll Yankee Finch feeder up for three weeks now. My other feeders had around a dozen Red Wings, a few Grackles and lot's of sparrows and starlings this morning.

This is another reason why I dislike my second shift job! I would realy like to attend but will be working. If you ever decide to put one on during the day or weekends please let me know> Would be willing to help out any way I could if needed.

As Ray suggested, a copy of the 2013 Martin Market Place is a excellent idea as it is packed with lot's of useful information along with excellent products.

I have been going to the roost a few times a week for over three weeks now and you should really go see it if you can. Ever since they published a article in last Sunday's paper about the roost, their have been quite a few people up there. My oldest brother who has lots of "House Birds" ev...
