Lev. Say now. I'm not sure pictures of that many PMs are allowed since some of us can't attract even one pair. ha ha ha. Just kidding. Actually it looks pretty cool to see that someone still has this many visiting. Most folks are really moaning about them all having left already. CUL Lou

Lev,

Nice shot! I also my longest season ever with many visitors while the young neared time to fledge. I was still seeing over a dozen PMs last Sunday but today the only visitors on my rack was starlings so I took em down. Then around noon I looked up in the sky and saw many martins flying/feeding several hundred feet up. Wish you and all the best off seasons and lots of martins next year.

Dale
