Howdy,

Just wanted to remind those still waiting for Martins, if you're able to, play the Dawnsong to attract these guys. After walking the dog, I noticed Martins flying around the neighborhood, but no visitors at my 6-gourd set. So, Wednesday I worked from home and decided to leave the garage door open and play the Dawnsong (sorry neighbors). Within 30 minutes I had three Martins hanging around all day and one confirmed to stay the night.

Martin Colony History: See Signature

I haven't sen any flying around my airspace but I did see on a mile away this morning. I just ordered the CD from this site so hopefully I will get it soon so I can play it. I'm game for anything that will help me establish a colony.

Thanks for the tip.
