Here in Calcasieu parish, our first 2 Martins showed up on Feb. 14 and the next day we saw 3. By the 19 th we had 3 pairs.

On March 5 we had 9 Martins. The Martins came about a week or more early this year and usually don't get this many until the 2 or 3 rd week of March.

The Blue birds built a nest about Feb. 24, but waited about a week to start laying eggs. By March 5 we had 5 eggs.

I had a quick start last year with the Bluebirds. One pair built a nest and laid eggs, and then the freeze happened. I checked every day for three or four days, but the eggs were no longer viable. The other pair that had an early start, fortunately hadn't laid at that point. Here's to hoping for no late cold this year, though it is more like an early Spring than a late freeze that caused the issue last year.
