Anyone who wants to receive the spring issue of the PM Update, this is about IT for renewing/joining - call 814-833-7656 or join online,http://www.purplemartin.org/shop/produc ... ucts_id=28
There is some great information in this issue, including a comprehensive article on controlling House Sparrows, new research results on survival of fledglings, articles on predator-resistant houses, and much more—what you can learn from doing feeding counts; why it's so important to share martins with children; how martins react to different housing types. The PMCA needs your support to keep working for martins and landlords - and the Update makes a great father's or mother's day gift - we hope you'll support martins and the PMCA.
Time to join or renew/Spring issue coming soon

- Martin Colony History: Colony started - 2007 with one pair
As of 2018 - 84 cavities offered, max # of pairs hosted - 82.
I renewed today too - because I just realized it is APRIL already!!! 
Sent my stepfather a gift membership too - early Father's Day present! I didn't even know until last year that he has 3 Trios in his yard - FULL of martins. And he (being a hunter) sits in his chair outside watching them, with his 'house sparrow control' by his side.
Hehehehe!!!

It's probably too late but you guys should include a page with the nest check spead sheet. So people can rip/cut it out. Maybe you would bump your submissions that way.
I can't remember seeing one in the past update mags. I know it's online and people can print it out but it just might make it a little easier. It's also probably too late for a lot of the southerners.
Going to check my SW Michigan site Saturday. Hoping the season has started for me!

Ben, we include the PMW nest check form in the catalog sent out annually - that goes to many more people than the member's magazine (wish that was not so!) but thanks for the suggestion, that might be a good thing to do next time.
