Two Martins showed up. Right on last years schedule. Made several circles but didn't land. At least they know I'm still here. One Male for sure and didn't get an up close on the other one.
Now I have to get serious about sniping Starlings and Sparrows.

Don,
Read your post this morning and was wondering if the same thing would happen today for me. Well, just got the call from my wife that an ASY male was on the gourd rack singing away. Very same day one showed up last year. Very amazing to me how they do it.
Well I posted the report and my season has started!!
Hope you have a great year.

don in ky.
Yes it is amazing. I was busy so don't know if my visitors ever landed but don't think they did.
James: ty and I'm hoping that you get some residents this year.

Thanks Tim,
Got all my new houses finished and standing up, so now I can devote more time to the trash birds. Since January 11, I have disposed of 9 Sparrows, and 22 Starlings, but they keep coming.
