- 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.
Finally sighted 2 female subbies around 7 PM tonight. No sign of any males yet. They were checking out the house & sitting on the power lines right next to the ASY females. I also had an extra ASY male yesterday. No sign of him today tho. I currently have 4 nesting pair. Hope to end up with a few more.

I am on the Eastern edge, of Williamsport, about ten miles East of Toy, in Avis, Pa.
I have yet to see a Martin, of any size, color or shape.

I'm almost smack in the middle of the state. The martins seem to be late this year compared to last year & also in fewer numbers, at least in the northeast.
I do know that about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh there's an Amish farming community that usually has lots of martins. So hopefully some will move further north to your area soon.
