The martins are still coming into the mall at nighttime. Still a whole lot there. Pictures are on link at bottom of page. Light was bad, and secruity guard stopped me from taking pictures. Next day stop by mall and talk to management about taking pictures and was informed could take pictures as long as the building is not in the pictures. The pictures are not that great , need to be able to get closer, the camera I got does not have enough zoom.

Martin Colony History: Erected 1st house in 1997. Birds were checking it out before Mike got down from the ladder. Six cavities had a little colony 1st year. Grown to 88 cavities all gourds with near 100% occupancy. Most important factor for success is rain = bugs.

Hi Gary.

I'm glad you got to see that roost. They are indescribable...

I just wanted to let you know that we can't view your photos. It says no albums for public view...
Sincerely,
Laverne
