Martin Colony History: 22 year landlord, 14 at current residence..offering 9 racks and a homemade T-8 for 166 total cavities. 160 Pair in 2018 Racks consist of a Deluxe 12, AAA 16, Starburst 16, 2 K-18 Series, Super 24, 2 Gemini, Multi-purpose/two trio’s/4gourds and a T-8..Great hobby to be involved in..

While in Wichita August 20th, wife and I checked out the roost down by Via Christi Hospital.. I'd estimate that 10/15,000 martins were still there, maybe more..it was fun getting buzzed as they came into roost.. :grin:

I need to go check it out before they leave. It's been two years since the last time I was there. I know they have moved over a block or two but is shouldn't be too had to find.

Just returned from going to the roost tonight and here is what I found. Nothing! They have all left for the year as I did not see one single PM. I wish them well on their journey back.
