Martin Colony History: My father has started the Martin Colony back in 2000. To this day we have had about 40 to 45 pairs of Martins. We use 5 Martin houses and a few gourds, unfortunately the Martins prefer the houses over the gourds, but we still put them up.

We have an adult male Martin just land at 6:13pm in Washington, Missouri. He's home. He is currently trying to figure out which house he wants. <3 He arrived 2 days earlier than last year. It is rainy but his wings don't look droppy, he looks good. He's been eating.
