Visitors but no takers

Quick update, it seems the first pair I mentioned on 4/5 is still here but no nest. I see them most evenings coming home, but no signs of nest building. I think I got either a lazy pair or a pair that thinks this is their summer air bnb and are vacationing for the summer.

Haha, need to set them straight on what you expect from them! Mine have been back since March 17. No nest building yet but that is normal.

Well, if yours haven’t started yet I’ll give these a bit more time before we have a good sit down talk. I think there was also a SY male here today tryin to put the moves on the young gal. Billy (as I’ve named my first Martin) was having none of it.

Just a quick update to this. We now have four pair. Three complete nests, one still in process. One nest with 4 eggs, one with 3, and one with 5. Things are definitely rolling. I log everything in NestWatch. Is anyone else using the NestWatch app? I started using it since I had Eastern Bluebirds in a different nest box first, but then started logging the Martin activity, too.

Nice update and nice site. Wide open. I'm sure you'll be full or near full next year.
