Martin Colony History: 1st birds 1990. 1 12 room metal house, colony started.
current 2 tr14s, 1 tr18, and 56 gourds, usually average @ 70 pair. 102 rooms available.
above mounted on 4 structures..

I have gained 5 more martins in the last 2 hours, finally some males. Had to open more rooms because they want to see everything. Lots of chatter now that males are here, the 2 females I had since March 13 were really quite.
The snow here is almost gone and the temperature is 59 1/2 trying for 60.

Martin Colony History: 2017 Had a lot visitors no Matins nesting, hoping 2018 will be different.

2019 had 30 pair

That is great news.
