Status please on arrival of PM's if you live in Northern VA, DC or MD.

I live in Northern VA near Dulles International Airport. Normally the Purple Martins arrive mid March. Here it is 12 April and I haven't seen one Martin. I'm concerned that there may not be any Martins at my house this season.

Any suggestions? :-(

Hi Tye,

Have you checked the scout report for Virginia?

Don't give up yet.....mine are coming in later this year and I still have more to go. I live on the eastern shore of MD. I think a lot of people are having this same experience. Maybe there was some problem down in South America that caused a delay. Wouldn't start worrying for another week or two.
