A big thanks to the Griggsville group for the martin fest this past weekend. I did not see anybody NOT having a good time, great vendors, sponsors, and speakers. A very good trip up hwy 61 and 54 (from Mo.) and back down hwy 79. (great river road). thanks again, Leverett and Margaret

PS This morning We observed our 1st nest to fledge, great sight to see the older birds keep the young ones flying and contained.

I should go there next year... good to see a post from you.

I had two nests fledge last week, very early. Your birds arrive before mine, but I guess it's a little warmer here in the city or something and a few pairs got started really early.

The Griggsville folks did a great job of hosting Martinfest this year. I had a very good time visiting with other landlords, listening to the speakers and checking out the vendors booths.

Next year Martinfest will be back in Finger TN at the Stoll farm.
