Hello Todd
Martins seem to be arriving early this year according to lots of the arrival dates. Noticed this is your second year to report Martin arrival date and your first date reported was Feb 2012. Have you had martins at your site more years or r you a fairly new landlord? I look forward to my first arrival but kinda wish they would wait a little longer because I know we will have colder weather here at least through Feb and probably cold spells in March. I have crickets in freezer but in past years all martins didn't take part in the feeding I provide during those spells. Hope you have lots of martins at your place this year with lots of fledglings.

I have had martins about 5 years and i was surprised when they arrived about 2 weeks early.They usually arrive here the last few days in Feb.
