Martin Colony History: Start 2009 with one pair. Upgraded from S&K houses to two Trendsetter 12's with gourds beneath in 2013. I have experienced job, pet, and parental losses since '13. The Purple Martins lift my spirits and remind me how life continues forward by flying their little selves from Brazil back to my yard. As one forum person once told me, chin up DebA, look at the martins. Danger all around but yet they soar in the sky without a care in the world.

She thinks my tractor's sexy...

Lets call it luck as this is my 4th year trying and 2012 had 1 sy male claimed here for about 4 weeks but couldn't get a girl. I like to think he was the first asy here this year and managed to get himself a girl plus 9 other pair. Todays check I had 32 babies and 9 eggs left to hatch. The pond you see is about 1 acre and I like watching them bathing and drinking. Some times they're so many hitting the water from every direction don't see how they keep from hitting one another.
