To All,
I have been using the netting for years without having any problems. While I was away working it worked for me and the martins. Please practice this for it will save you a lot of heartache someday.

That's looks to be a good size snake. What kind of snake is that? It has a kinda darker odd shade of green which looks almost metallic or something.
Don't know if it was just the lighting or what. Good job stopping that thing.
How many pairs do yall have left over there in your state here in August?
Im just curious is all.
In central Texas, it seems these guys gotta be gone and flying by now because it just gets way too hot. I thinking even with sun shades, good vents, and even misters, the feeding still stops when its 100+ day after day in a row which is what happens here.
