Did I miss the reason for the delay in the Scout Report update?

Debba, scout reports are updated continuously, every day. The date refers to the map, which is updated at least once a week, but not daily since it is not automated. Martins have been pouring into Texas for the last four days or so, and other states as well. Thanks to all the landlords making arrival reports - we all enjoy them.

Martin Colony History: First started in Gretna, La in 1969 with a small homemade house, have had martins ever since at 2 different homes in Texas

The martins are pouring in here with our mid 70s temps and south wind, we have at least 17 to 22 here, its impossible to count them when they are circling, and they are not hanging around the housing much, they come in an go into the gourds.

Thanks for the information.... Since Mississippi was blank when I posted my comment, it appeared as though the report had not been updated, but I see there is now one report. I understand we are between migratory routes and it is always interesting to see the arrival patterns...
