          Normally start seeing hummers this week, but with nothing for them to eat because of the freeze they will likely struggle. Need to get our feeders out this week.

            I swear I heard a humming bird in the flower bed in the front of our house yesterday.

              Got my houses up today.
              Was wondering the same thing. Cleaned out my house trying to keep the sparrows out before putting it back up. Martins should have been here by now ????

                  Joel, post up some pics of your gourds! Like to see 'em now that you've got them finished and up.

                    Nope, but we have a pair of wrens back in the box and the Mallards (George and Barbara) landed in the pool yesterday.

                        Here you go Charlie.
                        I’m sure trying here brother. I feel I have the house in a good location...close enough to the shop but in an open area with no trees too close. I’ve put some dried pine needles inside the nesting areas of both the house and the gourds, have my 2 decoys on perch and even playing the purple Martin “dawnsong”vocalization CD via a boombox predawn everyday.

                        Nothing yet...I guess only time will tell.

                          Very nice Joel! I have a box that looks a lot like that one only mine actually has holes where the birds can get inside!! ...guess it's just from the angle of the pic, you can't see the holes??

                              Haha....give me a little credit brother. 😂 Yes, they have the starling resistant crescent shaped entrance holes in them 😛

                                Had a few scouts in Tomball right before the freeze. Nothing since.
