Donna,
Nice set up. One question, how close are your trees and how high are your poles.

Hey donnak-Tx,
Thanks for sharing your photos with us martin starved fanatics. It is always enjoyable viewing the setups of other landlords. One never knows when they will see something that they might want to incorporate into their own setup. Looks like you are ready to go and I hope you are able to add to your five pair. I assume the rope on the left side pole is not always in that position but I noticed that it hangs down below the predator guard. You might want to coil the rope so that it stays above the guard so a climbing predator can not use it to bypass the guard and gain access to your martins.
Enjoy,
Bill

THE MORE ONE LEARNS THE MORE ONE SEES! While the ignorant person sees only a blackbird the enlightened person sees a Purple Martin.
