Seems like my birds have "flown the roost" here in Paulina, La. have a few stragglers that show up on occasion. No nest activity (except for the Hosp), but for the most part looks like the season is over.
Anyone else in my area have the same results? I'm ready to take down the house so I don't have to watch the Hosp having their way .
I had already taken it down by this time last year.
Martins finished in South La ?
Conrad,
Mine all fledged in late May. Like yours, I'll get the occasional visit or hear a few up in the neighborhood skies. Seems early this year.
Am jealous reading about our friends up North that still only have eggs or recent births.

North Alabama. Yesterday afternoon / evening all was quiet. It was strange being so still when there is usually a bunch of activity. It was very active that morning and active again, but slower this morning.
They roost the first week in August, so what's up? Maybe an overnight tour of the local area for the kids?
