My visiting Martin that has been here 3 mornings straight was here today. Not sure if it was here yesterday or not. My wife didn't notice. So lets just say it has been here 5 mornings straight. I wish I could tell if it is sleeping here or not. Just maybe it could happen again having martins. Just keeping my fingers crossed he stays and brings a companion with it. I wish I knew if it was a guy or Female. I haven't been home to see it. I am at work in the mornings. My wife doesn't care what sex. It's a da...... bird. Hope to see this weekend.

I will be waiting for your update from watching your martin this weekend. It would be nice to know if it is a ASY or SY male. If so, hopefully he will find a mate and get your colony started.

Good luck and have fun watching him/her this weekend.
