3 Purple martins arrived at my site today. I love them but was wishing they would arrive April 1, I will be able to take care of them until April 4, because April 5 I will have major surgery on my nose and under right eye. I hope they will be okay when I cant do anything for them

Wishing you luck on your upcoming surgery and on your new arrivals. Try to take care of yourself and don't stress too much over the martins. As much as we like to think we are in control...we still have God to look out for the things that we have no control over. Keep us posted on how you are doing. Brenda

Hope your surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

Hopefully the weather will be a little warmer by then and the Martins can find food on their own while you recover.

Best Wishes to You,
James

Martin Colony History: Colony established May 20, 2017 after three unsuccessful years. Persistent and aggressive Tree Swallows plagued the site, but beyond learning - and practicing - to control them, was the return in 2017 of a 2016-SY-M previously unable to find a mate. As a handsome ASY-M, he brought along two females and a swagger that soon put the Tree Swallow issue to rest. As the anchor pair, he and his mate hatched all six of their eggs into fat and healthy babies into what settled in to be a three-pair, flourishing new colony with up to 11 birds total, including 3 SY-M trouble makers.

pmlover,

It should be in your regular email Inbox (the email address you gave PMCA), from "[email protected]", with the Subject "Martins and Surgery". Except for the Subject it will look pretty much like all the other Notification emails received from the PMCA Forum.

Just wanted to wish you well on the surgery, to share my email address and to talk Ohio Martins. Best of luck with both.

Your martins doing ok during the cold period?
Ours, if there are any up there at our place, are on their own this spring. We will find out late next week their fate. Fingers crossed.
