Wrapping up 2020 season

Post by Dave Duit »

I hope everyone had a great PM year. The weather seemed to cooperate and I had a bounty of baby martins with a high fledge rate. It is always sad to see the last few martins leave for their southern migration, but we know they will be back next spring. I wish everyone the best in all their maintenance and updates of their housing over the winter.
Nest checks, supplement feeding and good landlord practices make for a healthy colony.

All your busy work in the past years have all paid off with a growing colony. Congrats and I'm happy to hear all is looking good.
