END OF SEASON

Has anyone had their Martins finish nesting and move on yet? Here in Ft. Pierce Fla. it looks like we are just about there.

Rupert,
Same thing here in Orlando. I have a couple of pair left before the season comes to an end for me. Actually winding down early here since it is usually around the 4th of July before all of mine are gone.

The last of mine fledged on June 5th. Some of the parents are still bringing their young back to roost in housing around dusk.

I have the same here; the last fledged 6/3, which was great since TS Andrea was around; I noticed the last gourd to fledge they did hurry them out; since more calm weather, Martins have been showing off their former houses; fledged 70...

Here in Ft. Pierce we only have a small colony and they are usually gone by now. At our farm in Madison Fl. the end comes between June 15 and July 10. Their we have 38 pairs,our best year to date.

Send um on north to my place, they can nest again if they have a mind to, I'm still impatiently waiting for a pair.

Yeah..........my season is over, too. It never started. Observed maybe three martins all season, but they were adults. Congrats on a complete season Florida Landlords!
