Re: egg check New Concord,Ohio
Wow Dick that is awesome, some of your last yr. fledglings must have made it to Sugarcreek because subbies are still pouring in. I did our nest check on Sunday and went to 35 active nests up from 18 a yr. ago , with more pairs just starting nest building this week....up close to 80 total martins.......
