Martin Colony History: 1st birds 1990. 1 12 room metal house, colony started.
current 2 tr14s, 1 tr18, and 56 gourds, usually average @ 70 pair. 102 rooms available.
above mounted on 4 structures..

I fixed their breakfast before mine this morning and they are still going to the feeder. I may have to serve lunch but that is ok too, I don't mind.
Also lots of nest building and green leaves being carried in, last egg count was 154 eggs and 1 structure not checked yet.
It looks to be clearing up a little, some after noon sun would be nice !

Leverett, same thing down the road in Washington. Put over 100 in the tray and they cleaned them out. Full here with 44 pair. First time that has happened. Still having SY arrivals and no place to go.
