Martin Colony History: Well established 90 cavity colony. Mostly plastic gourds with some custom cedar houses atop pilings out over the river. We live stream the activity on our website https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXKqSW ... Ph2tywu4eg

We are on the Maurice River. The Maurice is brackish and tidal. It meets the Delaware bay about three miles down at East Point, NJ. The area is remote and consists of dense marshland and swamp. Dragonflies abound.

Swallows arrive in mid August and finish nesting mid July. There is a large annual roost in mid August upriver a few miles at Mauricetown.

First hatch of six eggs this afternoon: https://youtu.be/fvj6V0X70G8 :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
Good luck Purple Martin Landlords.

Yesderday June 19th at 5:30pm the first of 6 eggs hatched.

This morning notice that the remaining 5 eggs are unhatched.

Is hatch#1 ahead for some reason? Or is it permature?
