get out of the forum, and go to the scout report page. under the map to the right is a button to report a scout sighting. I also searched all over the forum, but it's not there.

I just typed an extensive reply and clicked 'submit' but it never appeared! Lost in the ethernet! too busy to type it all again. This has happened before. i'll wait to see if it appears after some sort of delay, and if it doesn't, i'll re-type it. I'm also trying to get martins in NE Ohio. Tim Boyd ...

If you have wifi and a Windows computer, and If you're not afraid to order from China, I got a really nice one from a company called 'securityshop' through ebay for around $200. You need an ethernet cable to connect the camera to your wifi which allows you to see and record to your computer. setting...

I'm in your same situation here in north central Ohio. I had a SY male hang around 2 years ago, and last summer I started the dawn song early in hopes that that male survived the winter, and return as a fully adult male to the same place. It did not, but what if that persistent male from last year h...

Mitch, I might just call on you in the near future! I grew up in Massillon, and one of my haunts as a kid was the Nimisila Creek. maybe Mike and I will take a motorcycle hike your way to compare notes. you can get to me by my email, tboydshirt@gmail.com if you want to hook up. also, feel free to com...

It looks like the higher res picture was indeed rejected.

attached you might find 2 pictures. one is 1.1mb and the other is .468mb. I've seen where pmca won't publish pictures above a certain resolution. anyway, I hereby submit my efforts to the competition for the hardest working wannabee in the whole pmca community. for this, my third year trying, I have...

I'll take 5 at that price! Please ship to 4511 Evans creek, Sugarcreek, Oh!
Seriously, I built a (sort of) T14 with free wood except the pole, and ended up with around $400 with pole, pully, winch, hardware, cement, etc.

I vote no.

Thanks for the info. I read/skimmed that lengthy article, and think now that both sexes will have strong imprints to the site of their previous nesting but not to their previous mate. Apparently the second year birds are not so strongly imprinted too the exact location. I'm still trying to get marti...

in Victoria, Australia, they have swallows which look much like barn swallows with one exception. males and females there have the same length tail forks. I spent a year there in 1984 as an exchange teacher. I wonder if that picture was painted there?

Thanks for the replies, and my question probably is best addressed by actual banding studies. I got the dimorphism angle from a professor while working on my masters degree long ago. it seems to hold here with our geese who arrive each February with their last year brood tagging along. the pair firs...

I've been taught that as a rule, if a species exhibits sexual dimorphism (males looking different from females) they will mate for a season at most. but species with males and females looking the same (Canada geese, angelfish, etc.) tend to mate for life. So, is there evidence like banding which sho...

don't hurry home mike and regina. it's frickin freezing up here.

i'm curious as to why you can kill a garter snake there in Iowa? they are indigenous and harmless. who makes those decisions?

I'm pretty sure he meant that the baby martins caused indigestion in the snake which died from that, so no legal problems there...

i'm the friend that 'sugarcreek' made the extra t14 for. great work, mike, and tell your wife that you can never have too many martin houses, you can only have too many trees! here's to 2019.

wow! 2 years on 2 AA batteries including ir night lights? I'm interested because if you check my last year's posts, you'll see my efforts at a similar thing. it's a point/tilt/zoom camera which I can control from the keyboard and review recorded activities. unfortunately, I'm still waiting for marti...

here's to 2019! I've been trying earnestly for 3 years now with several housing styles but no keepers yet. i'm putting up a satellite site at my daughter's place on the top of a hill and wide open flyways hoping to at least get a colony going there. at home I've cut down a row of big trees between m...

awesome year, dick and cathy!. still waiting here, but not for want of effort. stop by and see some of the changes made with more to come after I get over my setback (fractured spine) heals. over the winter i'll see to getting more trees cleared in the area.
