- Martin Colony History: Put up the colony in 2015 and had a mean and nasty fight with the sparrows, yet one pair stayed and five fledged.
Great pics, glad to see they're doing well

- Martin Colony History: 2016 Informed landlord now Have 2 pair returning from 2015 That is a miracle. Hoping for a very successful year, sparrow population on decline.
First house was plastic with crescent holes Had martins within a few days. Ignorant landlord gradually lost them
Then got Trio House and still lost most of them. Lots of sparrows
What a thrill. So happy for you & your PMs
I can't wait till next week when my #1 should be hatching the 6 eggs she laid. She incubates most of the day and papa guards the door. When she comes out to forage, he goes in to keep things warm. Love the male devotion. He is a good husband & father [to be]
