336 6x12" suites; 8"x5' duct
pipe snake guards; nest 15'
poles to 9'. Pre-spray Bifen
inside houses each year; pre-
load "bedrooms" with pine
needles. Feed crows for hawk
control; Tempo dust for mites.

I enjoy perusing the Report but I recognize very few of the names; but I would Forum monikers. What am I missing, why don't more use their moniker, thereby enriching the Report?

Me, personally I just fill out their forms and submit. I suppose you could go by a diffrent colony name but im too excited at that point and want the word out to others to get ready and then go back outside.
Think too lots and lots report on the PMCA scout report but never appear on the forum.
A good house sparrow is a dead house sparrow.

…. Lots of people use a “Moniker” (nick-names or names and numbers) instead of their real name…. But for me I use my real name, so I don’t get confused….. :grin: :grin: :grin:

I have always used my name. Reason for me is when I first started trying to attract martins, and using this website I would look at the names and find colonys in my area. Using online resouces was often times able to see peoples locations and look at their colony and try to see what they are doing different than me.
