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...

Only Gourds H and L remain inactive. Of note, one of the gourds (B) has wet sand/pond grass - a repeat unusual action from last year. Could be the same bird at work... 10 out of 12 gourds have nesting material per our recent (3 Apr) nest check. Only Gourds H and L remain inactive.

A few wiring repairs are needed before we get the Gourd Cam running again. Hopefully the Site Cam is not too far behind either. So far around 6 martins are hanging out here.
