.. Hello Everyone.. Did a nest check yesterday at my Satellite Site the Oxbow Golf Course.. I found 41 pair with 182 Babies and still 30 eggs yet to hatch, I’m sure some will not hatch. Also checked at my home site and found 22 pair with 104 Babies and 9 eggs yet to hatch.. Hope everyone is having as great season as I am.. These numbers are way above my last year numbers..
Excellent news Dave! You’re helping produce many more martins.. numbers up here too and all over se Louisiana from what I’ve been hearing.. all good news for these great birds..

Congrats on a great year Dave! Same down here as Rob stated. I feel like we definately helped the Martin population this season. Sad for us down south because it's almost over. Have to enjoy them while we can.

Congratulations Dave! Those are some very impressive numbers! Thank you for adding so many martins to the population! Same here down in FL. More than doubled my numbers from last year. Sounds like everyone is having a great year!
