Thank you Mick....hope your season is great too. Looks like you are expecting an explosion at your colony site by adding more cavities. Your colony should grow.MichaelH wrote:Great pics thnks for sharing ,hope you have a great season ,.

Thank you Sharon and Danny. The martins were running late for me this year but they seem to be increasing. Yours should be here any day too Danny. Didn't you start out with an ASY pair? EDIT: I see them on your avatar

- Martin Colony History: I started trying to attract Purple Martins in 2011. I got my first breeding pair in 2013.
2013-1 pair, 2014-4 pair, 2015-8 pair, 2016-12 pair 60 babies :-).
Nice photos! I am starting to forget what the sunshine looks like here! We've had clouds and rain all week. At least there have been enough breaks in the rain for my martins to get out and feed! I am looking forward to getting out and also taking some photos soon I hope.
