Hello All
Have this question. Martin birds that are late arriving home.
Is this brought on by Distant to travel home. Or the food chain on there way home.
For me I had 7 then jumped up to 24.. My better half said they will be here the last of April. [ Later

Good question. We had our first pair last year and they have not been back yet. Quite a few reports around us so I know the birds are back. Our pair last year only fledged 1.

From the studies done it appears that birds that nest farther North start migrating later then southern nesting birds. Once they go they cover ground pretty quickly but bad weather can clearly slow them down.

Hello
Still interested [ Later

I’m pretty sure these were PMCA birds from their site in Erie County, Pennsylvania.

Many migrating Martins spend a day or two with our Martins feeding on insects here at the lake before continuing their migration north.

So I would say food availability and weather.
