Does your colony seem to stay together? Around noon(when I'm not working), they all seem to be hanging out together at there house/ gourds. In the evenings, they circle above my property together before going into their house.

Martin Colony History: 2023- 2 racks. 24 gourds
2024- 2 racks.28 gourds. 100 fledged
2025- 3 racks. 24 gourds,6 chirpy nest.105 fledged.

My colony seems to be sticking together more. They are starting to nest build and seem to stay closer to the racks. They are also defending against tree swallows and house sparrows.
