re: Purple Martin discussion

that's awesome!

Kind of disappointing that once they fledge they don’t hang around much. The intitial squadron of 4 comes by a couple times a day for a little while but that’s about it.

Should have another box or two fledging soon. Feedings are happening at the entrances and I can see heads poking out every now and then. The gourd, which only had 2 hatch is still at least a couple weeks away

Strangely have an adult male hanging when before it was all first year males in my pairs. He must be lost or lonely

And just like that Martin season is over. Yesterday was birds everywhere for about 3 hours then a few around on and off. Today only saw a couple do a few laps and no feeding flights. Dropped the house and it’s empty with only one dead baby left. Just give it a few days then clean everything and put up until next year

I wish the little turds would hang around at least a little while but once all the nests fledge, gone like a fart in the breeze
