I live in Northern VA near Dulles International Airport. Normally the Purple Martins arrive mid March. Here it is 12 April and I haven't seen one Martin. I'm concerned that there may not be any Martins at my house this season.
Any suggestions?

Status please on arrival of PM's if you live in Northern VA, DC or MD.

Don't give up yet.....mine are coming in later this year and I still have more to go. I live on the eastern shore of MD. I think a lot of people are having this same experience. Maybe there was some problem down in South America that caused a delay. Wouldn't start worrying for another week or two.
