Martin Colony History: 2019 - Hundreds of fly-bys August and September
2020- Visitors in April and June

Question for everyone out there in Purple Martin land.... What is the latest date you have ever had a pair of SY Martin's show up and then successfully raise a brood? I'm still holding on to hope for this season, but I know my chances are fading. Any response is welcomed. Thanks, have a great weekend!
2019 - Set up T14, Multiple flyovers during migration
2020 - SY male visitor - no nest
2021 - SY male visitor - no nest
