Martin Colony History: The 1972 St. Agnes flood wiped out all the Martins in my area. One day, in 1997-98, 5 or 6 Martins landed on the power wires crossing my back yard. I had no house for them. They kept coming back day after day. We got a martin house a few weeks later & they have been coming back every year since. I average 12-15 pair per year.

What happened to everyone's Avatars? Just wondering if it's my computer or they were all taken off.

It seems as though they have mysteriously disappeared. Probably a glitch or formatting error somewhere.

Martin Colony History: Mom n Dad had a plastic 12 unit martin house with some martins as long as I can remember. In 2013 they had 1 pair. I don't think they fledged any. I then started learning how to take care of martins and in 2014 we took that house down and put up a Troyer 18 gourd rack. We had 7 pair with 28 fledged.That summer I built a T-14 (I was only 12). I was also given 4 natural gourds that I hung beneath the T-14. In 2015, we had 23 pair although only 22 pair fledged young. They fledged 88 young. In 2016, we had 36 pair, 210 eggs, 163 hatched, 149 fledge!! One pair fledged 2 broods. In 2017, I had 36 pair with 35 fledging young. They laid 204 eggs, hatched 155, and fledged 152.

Same thing I was wandering...?

The photo you chose to show under your profile on the right. Mine was a Blue & Gold Macaw. Many had photos of Martins.

Unfortunately we had to disable them because of a software vulnerability that they introduced. We're hoping that we can re-enable the option whenever the forum software is updated to a new version that closes the hacker backdoor.

Sorry folks.
