What a weekend you had I know this feeling of frustration and helplessness all too well......but you did a great job. Your post shows how much you care and you did not give up or get discouraged trying to feed and safe your martins. I think it was the right thing to do to take them all in at one point and let them warm up. I am very happy for you and the martins that they all survived and took off to the sky.....
I know you must be mentally worn out from all the worries and trying to get food into your martins, but you did a wonderful job with lots of patience and being innovative. You have every reason to be very proud of yourself Wishing you the best for this martin season
