This is what your going to get out of me every day! Every time someone ask me how it's going here and I tell them I'm not seeing a thing, that evening or the next morning a martin or two show up.

rr ask one day last week and I couldn't tell you how long it had been since I'd seen a martin, The next morning there he was, and has been coming by every day since. He's been here 3 times today that I know of. The wife called me at work yesterday (Sat.) to tell me there were 2 here.

So, every day from now on I'll be reporting that I've seen nothing! :wink:
Oh, just so ya'll know, I haven't seen a martin in a coon's age! :lol:

Hey, Tony, so sorry you haven't see a thing! It's too bad that when Dorn County went by, there were no Martins there. :wink: :wink: :wink: BTW, I am curious about tomorrow, so please consider that this is my request for a follow-up from you for then, okay? 8) 8) 8)
