They hang around most of the mid morning playing and singing. In the evening they head about 25 miles south to the "Roost" in Austin at highlands mall with the other Central Texas Martins waiting for the right time to migrate. Love my Gourds!

That's pretty cool that you are so close to the Austin roost and can still enjoy your martins every morning! We are too far away, I guess, down here just south of Blanco. But, my original "Big Three" (not to be confused with Timmy, Tony & Manu) are still flying around in the mornings, over the house and landing on the gourds. But all the others are gone. 'Til next year!
