I haven't had any lookers for about 2 weeks now at either site.
No signs of sparrows chasing them off this year and everything is SREH so no starlings either.
I have read about some people in my location starting to see SYs showing up at there sights for about 2 weeks now.
Are we at the beginning or middle of subbie migration now? I am wondering what people on the coast are seeing also.

Hello A.P.,
I have about 2-3 SY females around from time to time but no males here to get them to pair up! I have 13 ASY martins and no new males! I had a female problem 1 week ago and now a male problem! Go figure! The SY females still hang around but no new SY males showing up yet! John!
