Martin Colony History: Last colony I had was in 2015.

Congratulations, I also just had a touchdown landing of a beautiful asy male
here and he is way early for me. So excited though he has made my day. I had my dawn song playing and spoted him he made several circles before finally landing. :grin:

Martin Colony History: 2010-2014 located in Slidell LA. Gourd rack with 16 gourds. Max of 2 pairs during this short period in Slidell. Plenty of fledglings.

2014-present.. moved to Broussard LA. Same Gourd Rack but added a 6 room house (modified from a 12 room)

2020: after a long drought of nothing, 4 pairs and 4 nests, 23 eggs total.
6 fledges.

2021: 9 pair, 47 eggs
36 hatchlings
30 fledged

2022: about 12 pairs.. many eggs, all fledged.. only had one hatchling die.. probably because of our schnauzer. :(

2023: 16 pairs. So far about 60 chicks with about a dozen eggs to go.

2024: 13 pair. About 60 eggs
2025: 14 pairs .. 69 eggs.

I'm in Slidell... I'm hoping to see some very soon. Tomorrow I leave for Greece for a one week work assignment. I'll bet they arrive then.
