Good for you, now I'm getting jealous, they are here in W. Melbourne, which is south of me by 2 miles and north of me by 6 miles....Hmmmm.
What are you offering for housing this year?

Thanks all!!!
Hey Mike. We have all new housing this year. We bought 8 new gourds because we wanted the kind that have the cap on top to make it easier to do nest checks. Also Tommy built new housing. It is a cross between the Alamo and the T14. It is aluminum and has 16 compartments. So this year we can have 24 pairs instead of 20. Good luck to you this year. Hopefully your birds will show up soon. I see Cocoa has posted a scout report also.

Hooray for you guys in Florida/ just keep the martins with you for awhile. We are experiencing winter including about five inches of snow in SE Okla,/most of your week will continue with very cold temps. We are anxious to see the martins too, but not till its safe. Maybe we can invite them by end of Feb. or first part of March.
