Martin and Blue Bird Society Join Forces

While on the Purlpe Martin Society's website, I noticed they have joined in with the Louisiana
Bayou Bluebird Society. We of the same interests always have a problem with the Starlings,
or Mauking Birds. They are heavy around here and we are having to try to run them off.

I am posting the link to the right for the Louisiana Bayou Bluebird Society, if you are interested.

Purple Martin Scout Arrival

If you are interested in Purple Martins, it is time to be watching for the Scouts arrival. A great place to track the Purple Martin Scouts in your area is on the Purple Martin Society's website. They have lots of tips for placement of your Martin Houses. We have about 20 Gourd Martin Houses strung in the front of our property here at Rocky Mount and we get excited each year waiting for their return. I am adding a picture of the wagon wheel that we first started out with for our Martin Houses. We had a Martin Box on top and Gourd Martin Houses hanging below. You can see to the right side, we now have a cable with the Martin houses strung on it.

I have added a link to the right for the Purple Martin Conservation Society and the Purple Martin Society.

More about Purple Martins tomorrow,
