Martin Colony History: The 1972 St. Agnes flood wiped out all the Martins in my area. One day, in 1997-98, 5 or 6 Martins landed on the power wires crossing my back yard. I had no house for them. They kept coming back day after day. We got a martin house a few weeks later & they have been coming back every year since. I average 12-15 pair per year.

Had a female spotted at 1:30 PM in the martin house today. It's been raining since Friday night & is in the mid 40's. Rain is to end around mid-night tonight. More rain on Monday & Tuesday. Then clearing & rising temps expected.

I told the 2 males early this morning to go find a few ladies & geez didn't they came back with one. I'm sure once this storm/rain passes & it warms up by weeks end I'll see more of them.

Toy, I'm playing my chatter cd and it's raining here too, just hoping somone will pass by and check out this nice set up I have. I really did'nt think they fly in the rain. Still trying and not giving up.
