Good morning ozarks I live about two hundred and fifty miles east of you over in Ill, and I had two asy male martin come in yesterday about noon, spent the night and are flying around this morning. I think they are birds from last year. They have gone to the alamo house which they pick first out of all of my setup. Hope that your birds will stay I am sure that they will .
It is cool here and no insects flying so the one martin is humped up conserving energy. This is my fourth year, I had eighteen active nests last year with 77 fledged. lol with your martins Jon

Hey Springfield, still nothing in Iola, KS - except S&S, but I've already eliminated 9 starlings. I've check 5-6 different Martin houses in different areas and nothing. Last year, mine arrived on April 1.....I'm getting a little worried. Maybe if the people down South would quit feeding them scrabbled eggs/crickets, they would get moving again (just kidding) - that's probably mine that somebody saved. My female that's been around for a couple years has a white patch on her left wing, just in case anyone see's her. Well, good luck and I'll keep looking.

In Columbia, IL I saw two arrive on Sunday, then yesterday there was 6 or more at my neighbors across the lake. I had one pair this morning on my house when I woke up, they tried to get into my SREH, but to no avail.. they flew off. Then tonight, there was a bunch. It's pretty exciting seeing them again. This is my first full year at this location, so I'm desparately hoping to "Borrow" some from my neighbor.. :grin: There should only be more arriving with the weather warming up..... mike
