I was out rototilling my garden today on my tractor here in PA and I saw the first Purple Martin of the season. He flew around me once, flew away, came back and flew around 4-5 times, and left. My Martin house is rite at my garden, my first year with a Martin house at our new home. I hope I didn't make the garden too close to the Martin house? Might have to move it a little next year, fingers crossed!

Great to hear, Gary. I'm in Bangor PA, not too far from you. My new house has been up for a couple weeks and I've been playing the dawn song, but haven't seen any PUMAs yet.

Good luck to us both!
