Martin Colony History: I have had housing up at my residence since 2000. I added some additional housing and gourds in 2007, and I have been getting purple Martins in my houses and gourds ever since that time.

has anyone had issues with finding dead scouts or subs after this bad weather in Ohio lately? I had 7 PM's that have been here a couple weeks or so, and now I found 4 dead in the housing and one on my lawn below the house that are dead. Is this definitely a weather thing since they haven't been able to get out an forge for food?


any input would be helpful.

Thanks,
