Four of my six gourds produced successful hatches. They’re just about all flying around now. In SELA. I was late and installed it in early May last year, and I take it down when they’re gone. Had one nesting pair last year.

Do you take your house down or leave it for the damned sparrows?

Thanks for the bump, just noticed that some are being seen near me in the eastern FL panhandle. So time to clean the house.

Guess I should add I am in south Alexandria.

Me and the neighbor here in Destrehan are covered up in scouts. Showed up on Mardi Gras day. They’re swarming pretty good. We’ll see what happens.

Still not seen one here in CENLA

Moved into a new home this year and just put up my new house 2 weeks ago and haven't seen any. Hopefully I can get some this year.
Put my moms house up at the same time (south Baton Rouge), hers has been there for about 4 years and she had them show up earlier this week. They are definitely starting to show up.

Heard some yesterday evening, no sighting but they’re here or passing thru

Been pinging sparrows nonstop since I put the house up last week. The little bastards should thin out eventually

Head half a mile over, there are about 20 over the neighbors house every day. Crazy.

I heard martins this week in Lafayette.
Well, at least one.

Got 5 or 6 on my house in Denham Springs. First noticed yesterday, but I had been out of town. Not sure when they arrived.

We saw or first pair on Feb. 22 and another male today, Feb 24. This is just north of Lake Charles in Moss Bluff.

I've been working on them. They are getting bait shy though.
. it's amazing how dumb they are when they see a even a dead one on the ground.Posted on 2/26/23 at 11:30 am to ItzMe1972
Saw two checking out the house in upper Lafayette
Posted on 2/26/23 at 9:49 pm to Royalfisher
Have a few checking out my houses/gourds in BR, but none staying overnight.
Have had Martins for over 20 years, and this is the latest without the houses being occupied.

So if a sparrow has set up , I should evict it right?
Posted on 3/16/23 at 7:52 pm to AlxTgr
Males everywhere but very that may be females. Looked like a pair checking out the house the last few days but not staying. Raggedy house across the canal full of birds, one side the flap with the entrance holes isn’t even there. Crazy
