10 Little Lovelies

Post by Caroline »

Not counting the decoy; here are 10 of my pretties from this evening (May 8). There were more on the other side.

I saw at least 15 flying around above the house and had 8-10 in the gourds at the same time. It's getting birdy around here.

Nice pic. You have a great set up. The martins should be reaching the southern tip of Florida and Texas around December 31st/January 1st. I think we all have the purple martin fever.
Nest checks, supplement feeding and good landlord practices make for a healthy colony.
