Hi All,
Getting very excited for the 25/26 Martin Season! This past weekend ws spent cleaning the houses, loading the condos with pine needle bedding and raising the houses. Since I began hosting, the Purple Martins seem to arrive a bit earlier each year, so hoping they will arrive soon.
Happy Purple Martin Hosting!
Ready for the New PM Season

A labor of love that is sure. Its an important ritual, making sure all is just right.
Your correct, as they get older they arrive earlier and earlier. Eventually it will even out. Keep a close watch on the scout reports. Probably next week arrivals in the sunshine state!
Had a dream last night a male martin was on the front gourds. As bad as I want to see them, not just yet....
Hope this season is a great one for you.
