The martins have pretty much finished up their activities at the colony this season. Today there were 2 circling around, but not landing on the housing. The adult male sang quite a bit - maybe he was saying thanks and so long until next season...

11:14:17 pm Camera(s) coming online

Categories: Behind the scenes, 2010 Martins, 42 words

So far around 6 martins are hanging out here.
