Martin Colony History: 2023 two gourd racks 24 gourds ,kept no records. Became an official landlord. 2024 28 gourds keeping records.

Sitting on my front porch this morning and noticed the martins sitting on my wire rope fence. The Cicadas are at a climax right now and the martins are taking full advantage. They are feeding like the tree swallows very low to the ground. I watch them with a cicada in their mouth then they drop it and catch it again. The martins are indeed a pleasant bird as the plain people call them.
