Well I was at work so I didn't see it. But my wife said she saw one of my Darn birds. She has no clue if it was a SY, ASY, female or male and don't give a hoot. But at least she knows what they look like. And at least she told me a martin was here this morning. I would have to assume it was a SY, who knows. Maybe it will come back and see me again. I have been outside a few times this evening and haven't seen anything my self. Hope it comes back.

Steve, good luck. I sure hope you get a pair to nest. It is hard to be away during the day when the martins are actively looking for a place to nest. I'm so thankful I work from home and can sit at my desk and watch them fly around.
No one in my family likes nature and sometimes I feel out of place because when I hear them or see wildlife I'm running for the windows or outside with my camera or even to just watch them for hours.
Good luck!!!
