Re: Growth

I love the drier end of the season as well. It makes it easier to do nest clean out at the end.

"Special Hobby", is a great description for being a landlord. Glad I could assist any new martin people with my video.

Re: Growth

Hi there,
My colony went from 54 pair to 60 pair in 2020 season. Super fledge rate of 92% with 285 babies that successfully took first flight. The dry summer made for zero mites at my colony. I hope everyone had as good of a year. Now it is preparation time for 2021.
