I had birds this time last year and the bad weather killed about nine of them. I tried to feed them but didn't start in time I guess. The picture today shows what we have now.

- Martin Colony History: Had my site up to 22 gourds of which most (+/-3) stayed occupied.
Downsized to 17 gourds due to back surgeries. Had 14 families in 2017 but did not do nest checks due to health. Feeling better in 2018 and hoping for a good year.
I bet you are ready for that cold white stuff to move on!! Hope it warms up for you soon and you have a great season!

Harold, I thought the same thing today as I looked out and saw the ice-covered gourds. We had no snow in this part of SC but had close to an inch of ice. It has been an awful two days but thankfully, our power just came back on. That's a nice set-up for a group of lucky martins.

I sure hope this years weather don't linger as long as last year. It stayed so cold and rainy here even the crows and hawks were in bad shape. One of my martins flew out of a gourd and landed on the ground and a crow dropped in just as he landed and sat there and ate him.
