Glad they’re still coming in!!!
After last years bad luck I’m only up to three pair, seven birds total. Keep them coming, having to start over here.
Good luck!!!

How do you add photos from phone library?

Glad your efforts are paying off, always exciting when there’s so many flying around you can’t count them.
Good luck!!!

Had three ASY males on the house this morning, now they just need to navigate the wing entrapment pieces and we’re good.

The lone male was singing away on the house just a few minutes ago. I’m glad my misfortune has helped others be more proactive.
Let’s have a great year everyone!!!

Welder might need to fab something, shouldn’t be a big deal, some are mobile.

RR, somehow I missed your tragedy with the rat last year. My excuse is I was sick during most of the martin season and not on here much. I hated reading what happened, was shocked really. Seems like there are many things that can happen that we don’t think about. I was happy this morning to read yo...

All figured out, thanks guys. It was the date.

I’m happy for you I’ve only had martins for 2 years and this will be my third year, I’m starting to get excited already and I am at least a month and a half away from looking up in to the sky to see if there circling, good luck. Always fun waiting on their return for sure. I’m hoping my misfortune ...

Thank you guys, very much, I’m so relieved. I’ve got eight new gourds to mount, I better get busy!!!

That was very stressful for me. In ten years of following this forum I’ve never had anything breach the bird netting. This giant rat I killed, was climbing the cable and then over netting.

Hello. I filled out all the info after I signed in. When I selected post your report it doesn’t do anything. Help please.

Yippie!! Had one lone male circling this afternoon. I think I’m good!!!

Hey guys!!!
Just got back in town, still no birds. We’ll see what happens.

Thank you for the encouragement guys, getting nervous over here. Kathy, I’m not sure if they were subs or not. I’m hoping they were since they had the last clutches hatch. Bad rainy weather for the rest of the week, maybe I’ll see one over the weekend. Also, yes I did kill a very large rat, I think ...

Last year a giant rat was climbing my cable and over the bird netting and eating adults at night. I fixed the problem with a big round vent pipe three feet off the ground. I still had seven pair fledge twenty five. Now the birds are two weeks late counting four years back. Will they return? It was a...

I have the best luck from now, till they start wanting to breed with millet. After that, it slows down and they like the nest box traps better. I put feathers and nesting material in it and still catch a few, but they prefer the house trap better. Good luck.

Were the nest wet? I had some drain holes clog one year and it killed three clutches in gourds.

In Brazil.

I wonder if the severe flooding will have any impact on our birds?
