Purple Martin Forum

Louise,

That's a fascinating story. I don't have any clue what kind of lizard it is although it had a lot of bright shiny rainbow colors that unless I was really close to take the picture with my cell phone camera it will not pick up on the colors very well.

Thanks
Alex

Archer,

Duly noted.

Thanks

I have a pesky lizard lurking around the yard lately.

Any suggestions?

A fruit stand in Homestead Florida about 4 hours North of Key West (the southern most tip of the Continental U.S.) is making a claim that they have "THE SOUTHERN MOST PURPLE MARTIN HOUSE IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S" I believe that is a bit of a stretch because there is a couple hundred more mil...

Thanks Jose,

Sorry for the cell phone pictures.

Hatchlings are making very good progress.

No mites seen anywhere and I have not used Sevin.

I have 15 more younger hatchlings and 5 eggs.

Have not checked my 24 unit house yet because I'm having an issue lowering my Tri pole.

Suem,

Thanks for the idea.

I drink espresso -__- I don't have a lid that size.

My first initial and the last three letters of my surname spell ACIA.

Thanks Suem (are you a lawyer?), No I haven't been blessed with 2 broods yet. I sure hope to some day. We've had heavy rains lately and I lost an inspection cap to one of the gourds with three hatchlings inside and all I could come up with quickly was to cover it up with thick tin foil. I can't find...

Thank you everybody.

I hope to have more pics for you soon and y'all for me as well.

Alex

We have 8 hatchlings and at least a dozen more ready to hatch.

I wish you all success.

Alex

Jose,

8 Babies so far!

Alex

Wonderful Jose Congrats!!

I'm doing my nest check tomorrow Sunday.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Disney's Epcot Center has a nice little Martin Colony.

Interestingly enough the Martin's were sharing the colony with sparrows. Must be the Disney vibe.

Alex

LOOKING GOOD

I have at least an additional 13 beautiful looking eggs bringing the total to nearly 25 eggs.

Jose,

You keep out doing yourself.

I'm up to about 25 eggs between 5 of my six gourds. Unfortunately my 24 unit house has no eggs and only a few nest in the works. But I'm not complaining.

Keep up the great work with those fabulous photo's.

Thank you,
Alex

Very nice pictures Jose,

You have Bats, Martins, Blue birds, Swifts and a great eye for taking pictures.

What else do you have?

I want to grow up and be just like you.


Thanks,
Alex

Anthony,

Thanks a bunch!

Discovered nine eggs between two of my six gourds. I have yet to check my 24 unit house but I suspect that there are more eggs in the house.
