Dallas

Thanks again everyone for your kind words. She will be missed but I'm sure she is at rest and she would want me to continue to enjoy my martins. Purple martin people are kind people. Thanks again!!!

Dallas

Thanks for all the comforting words. I am looking forward to a great martin season for all of us. Thanks again!!!!!
My mom actually prayed for me to get my first martins and it worked.

Dallas

Thanks. I already have one here in South Ga. My mom liked to watch the martins come in at night. She said they

Thanks Stephen.

Buried my 82 year old mom today. Am looking forward to God and my martins to give me some comfort.

Dallas

That's great. I live only a few miles down the road out from Berlin so maybe mine will be here soon.
congratulations!!!!!

Great news. A few more days till they get to south Ga. :

Could it be an Eastern Kingbird. They will harrass the martins.
