It has been wild and great watching one pair finally take my house and then another and then another....I was hoping for 4 years for one pair I may end up having a pair for every year I waited....They are now building nest and it so great to watch them...I can hardly do anything else but watch.....I hope they get use to me in the above ground pool I have....every time I go in they scatter and come and check back.
Thanks to you all and here is hoping everyone has a great martin year..... :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Wow!! Way to go on getting those 4 pairs. Maybe the same thing will happen at my site since I am in my 4th season without any staying.
I had two pair really checking my place out yesterday and can hardly wait to get home from work to see if they are still around.

Enjoy every minute with them....I don't get a thing done around my house when they're here! My husband takes care of all the chores - cuz he loves me. 8) :grin:
