Re: Dawnsong Vocalization
We are just a little south of you (Sugarcreek) and have approximately 70 active nests with a lot of eggs, "Not all nest yet" and ours are out at 4 - 4:30 each morning. So i would think yours will start anytime now or once the eggs are in the nest.

What a great setup for martins always enjoy reading and looking at your pic's. Question do you not have starlings in your area and why not go with Starling resistant entrance holes ? Or are all your martins trained on round holes....Sorry if someone asked before.

Re: SNOW....!
I managed to train mine to supplemental feed really Glad we took the time to do it, they now come down right in front of the house and eat out of a tray as for me its always nerve racking when cold weather comes and it sticks around for a couple days because that third day they get really hungry.

Re: Why do I not have martins
Those pine trees look pretty close. Please Don't give up yet as SY subbies are just starting to migrate to and through the Midwest. One interesting book you should consider reading is "A Purple Martin Journey" Its a book written by Andrew Troyer of Troyer's Bird paradise...So much common sense in it...

Re: twice
The sparrows are the problem. You can't let them nest anywhere near your site. They will kill your Bluebirds and the Martins young when they get the chance. Get rid of the sparrows, get the BB back where they belong and close up the Martin house temporarily until the BB start nesting elsewhere. The...
