On March 22, 2006, I erected two new Lone Star houses in my purple martin colony. One is a 16 room four story Goliad with porch dividers installed on each door panel to minimize male martin nest domination. The Goliad is my favorite Lone Star house and really looks sharp! I already have one pair of martins. I also placed pre-built nests of pine straw in each compartment.
The other Lone Star house is the San Jacinto which is a different design. This house has eight rooms and is designed to minimize male martin nest domination behavior using separate porches and staggered hole placement. I placed pre-built nests of pine straw in each compartment. I already have one ASY male martin in residence.
The Lone Star products are outstanding in quality and my favorite commercial martin houses. They come already assembled and all you have to do is place them on the pole. If you are looking for a top notch commercial martin house, then I would highly recommend the Lone Star products.
I currently have four Lone Star houses: two Goliads, one 16 room and one 12 room; one Alamo, 14 rooms; and a San Jacinto, eight rooms.
