Not all the facts are perfect, but good to get PR at any rate.

Congratulations on the growth of the Parsons colony. I know that has taken a lot of effort. Keep the Coopers hawks out of Parsons and keep the martin population growing!

No idea. I've heard one story about a roost that took place right in our colony one year. 20k birds, but don't know how reliable that is.

Unfortunately we have coops they don't seem to cause a big problem, but I don't sit at the colonies all the time either.Dick Sherry wrote:Congratulations on the growth of the Parsons colony.
