I got home this evening and put pre nests into my 30 cavities. I did see that we finally have a couple Purple Martin in the state of Tennessee it’s about time. Also last week I went ahead and set the foundations for the four additional PM racks that I plan on putting up this spring it will have an additional 60 to 70 cavities on them with still room to add more down the road. Well have a great season everyone and send any extras that you have to Tennessee.

Hello E Tn neighbor!
We hope to be able to come see your set up one day! There’s just little extra time these days with work.
I’m watching the scout map but have a question for you...what’s your average dates to see them arrive and also the SA? When should I start playing chatter?

Scouts average arrival is mid April. SA about May 10th. Last year was the earliest Scout arrival time that I have ever had it was late March. But I ended up having 10 pairs fledge young. So I’m really hoping to see them even earlier this year. And I hope to meet you soon Khester. We can help each other out on Martin projects. I tried to email you my info but not sure it worked let me know if you get it i emailed it through the forum. If we don’t manage to get together have a great PM season. JHCox
