- Martin Colony History: Started at unsuitable location in 2008. Many lessons learned since. Two tentative locations: Rogers International School and the "Fish Church" (downtown.) One pair in 2015; no fledglings though. No pairs 2016.
Isn't it amazing that you are celebrating the babies fledged and I am still hopeful to get a pair in this year in my region?? I mean, isn't it crazy how the timing is so different? You have gone full circle on the arrival, nest, eggs, babies, fledglings and they may still come to my START the process here in the Northeast!
It is incredible to me :-D
Congratulations on all those healthy babies!
Best,
Thais

2014: lookers but no takers.
2015: 3 pair nested, 7 fledged.

- 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
Wow I can hardly sit still anticipating that sight within a few days.Awesome sight!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS on your successful site. Job well done
Thais G I agree with you also. Nature is amazing & I will never tire of watching these beautiful birds.
