A friend of mine called and said he had a martin with a lot of white on it and I should come over and check it out. I went over in the morning but it was real cloudy and the pics did not turn out as good as I hoped they would. I went back that afternoon and we did not see her,so he said there were some sparrows messing around with the house,we might as well clean out there nests. We lowered the the house and she was in one of the compartments. I reached in gently and held her for a couple of pictures and let her go. I have been a landlord for 17 years and never seen one like this(just pictures)

Very cool.
I'm a little worried about handling her as this might cause abandonment? They will tolerate nest checks of course, and I know you wanted a good photo. Let us know if she stayed around.
