Martin Colony History: My father has started the Martin Colony back in 2000. To this day we have had about 40 to 45 pairs of Martins. We use 5 Martin houses and a few gourds, unfortunately the Martins prefer the houses over the gourds, but we still put them up.

Good morning/afternoon from our Martins :) Sorry the pictures are small, it wouldn't accept bigger ones for some reason!
