- Martin Colony History: Had a cheap plastic house on a weak pole under 4 large cottonwood trees for many years without any martins. Started reading the forum.
Cut down all the trees. Put up better housing. Then the colony went from 1 pair to 3 pair to 7 pair to 18 pair. I have been steady at 18 pairs the last 3 years.
Ten years ago I got my first breeding pair. Since then each year less trees. no house sparrows, all SREH. More martins
