I had a male and female stay this evening. I have had three or four come by the last three or four days but none of them stayed. The pair this evening stayed. Look forward to the season. I hope everyone else has a good season. :lol:

Hello MartinMan68

Martin Colony History: Had a colony many years ago which dwindled over a couple of years and then did not return. Kept trying each year for almost 20 years and finally had a small success in 2011 with two pairs nesting. Colony has grown slowly each year with 22 pairs in 2015. In 2016 my gourd rack of 18 gourds filled up so I added 4 more gourds and then put up a small rack of 6 gourds. All of those were claimed within a few days so I believe I have at least 25 pairs this year.

Congratulations MartinMan68! Hope your season gets better by the day.
