What a welcome sight! One ASY males perched on a Coates house and one ASY male on a tunnel type unpainted natural gourd this morning.
Both martins flew as I approached to have a "look see"...Both males returned to claim their place of abode.
Not a better place in the world for martins to be than Hondo, Texas. Many a time I have driven by the sign in the middle of your town reminding me that "This is GOD's Country. Please Don't Drive Through It Like H E L L".
Great landllords over there and the gateway to the Texas Hill Country. Thank you for over 50 years of helping martins so that folks like Tony, Sue and I can have a chance to host martins too.
Best wishes to you this season and in the years to come.
