- Martin Colony History: Several colonies with in 6 mile radius.
Have had visitor every year 2014-24.
Two large trees removed in fall 2024 and moved T-14 to a more open location.
2025- 1 SY pair. Fledged 2.
2026- no pairs. One daily SYM here daily. Named him Riggs!
My granddaughter was watching that earlier this week and of course i had watch. Do martins, or did they ever nest in the bank of a stream. Or perhaps it was supposed to a cliff and a river. Either way, Grandpa watched before work.

Purple Martins were observed using niches in cliffs for nest sites: https://www.purplemartin.org/purple-mar ... ion-shift/
Today, some still nest in a similar fashion, inside the collapsed lava tubes at Lava Beds National Monument in northern California.
