Hi Dallas I hope your martins will be alone soon ! I could not believe my eyes , so keep yours open ! Hi James maybe it won't be long now before your first martins arrive back home. Thank you both ! I am trying to learn my way around this new website .

Hey April,

Thanks for sharing that great news with us! Your purple martin scout is very early for south Georgia! I remember you had a early martin in 2015, too.

When I lived in Havana, Florida which is about 16 miles west of Tallahassee, I had a martin arrive on January 5 one year.

I hope you have a great martin season!

This is exciting news, April! do you need help logging into your PMCA account? I can help you if that's the problem, or you can email your report to [email protected] and it will be posted for you tomorrow.

Hi Steve Thanks , this is a very early Martin for me and I was very surprised to say the least ! I guess we all need to get ready because they're coming ready or not and I wasn't quite ready but I'm working on finishing everything up now .

Okay - I can reset usernames and passwords. Forum account info does not carry over to your regular PMCA account, which is good for scout reports, PMW, other projects and the PMCA online shop. We were not able to include forum accounts in the big merger. But if you email me the name and pword you want, I can reset your account so you have the same username and password for account as for the forum :)

April, your martin arrival is on the map! Thanks for reporting. One of the features I am enjoying on the new Scout-Arrival Study is the 'live' map - it's nice to be able to zoom in and see more detailed maps showing locations of arrivals.

I hope mine are staying warm, we had 39 deg this morning. Warmed up nice so they are off feeding more of the same for the next couple days.
