2 adult martins showed up at 9:30am this morning. Interestingly, January 17th is the same day we had first arrivals in 2004. Today's birds are a male and female and are checking out gourd #8 which is in the top section facing north towards the colony camera.
After 10 minutes of perching the male entered gourd #8 and then poked his head out for a while.
Other landlords in the area have reported arrivals too, so the season is definitely underway here in Brevard County, Florida.
