My four males survived the ice storm. Two have found females and the other two are still searching. Waiting for the subbies to return. Would be nice to hear from other Minnesota martin landlords.

I currently have 14 PM's back, 5 are females that showed up yesterday and this morning. First male came on 04/26/13 exactly 2 weeks later than last year. Hanging around most of the day and appear to be in good shape so far.

I have been having Coopers and Sharpshins making attacks on mostly my small songbirds around my seed feeders. They have had several successful kills. I had almost 2' of snow on the ground last week. The snow is almost gone this morning after the rain last night.
