"The News Is Not So Bad"
Hello!
It is not all bad news!
We are just north of Charleston, SC. Small coastal area in Cape Romain. We live on the waterway and have followed this flocks progress for 12 years. They were later than usual getting here.
Just wanted to share my backyard photo of very prosperous Martins this year.
Eighty plus martins are living with us in just 23 gourds. Nesting went very well despite the heat!
Please share this photo with everyone! Photo taken 7-17-09
(PMSNA here: Chuck, with pleasure! Martin job well done this year in the midst of most adverse weather. Here is your photo: Gary Bates' PM Colony 2009 It's a great foto, Gary!)
Thanks,
Chuck Bates / Awendaw, SC
