Went to Lake Amistad for Easter and snapped a few pics from the houses I have there. It's really hard to tell how many we have this year. They are finally going for the new gourds we introduced which makes me happy.
My best guess is between my Uncle's house and my house we have between 100 - 130 birds.
Our properties are right next to each other but the poles are scattered over about 8 acres. Anyway here are some pics

I love the site . I like seeing the martins in a semi arid environment . I see there was a baffle on the Martin pole, but I believe you will need some snake netting , especially considering the location . I imagine their are a lot of snakes in that area....
