I also bought a gourd from Mr Wood and it is about 70% done. waiting on the tunnel and access port to arrive in the mail. This is my first year having a setup and I put the p...

Glad to hear SYs have arrived in your area Toy. I identified my first one only two days earlier but I think one was here before that. Like yours it did not have the identifying purple on his chest so I was unsure and had to wait until a second SY male arrived to report him. Lots of nest building and...

Its hard to figure why they seem to migrate up through western Virginia and on to your area before I see any in eastern VA. However, my first one arrived about ...

First PM
My first Purple Martin of the 2015 season returned this morning in east central VA! Around 9am we had a severe thunder storm with heavy rain and wind at least 60mph. I was really worried it would take my Trio Grandpa down. The worst of the storm lasted about 10 minutes and thankfully the Trio surviv...

Congratulations on all those eggs Mike! Sounds like you have a real booming colony. I would not close any compartments as we still have several weeks for new SY arrivals. I have only seen two SY's here so I am counting on many more in the coming weeks. Nice pics, thanks for sharing and Good Martin S...
