I heard the first Martins at our house on Caroline's birthday. I heard them before I saw them. I love the sounds they make! We had four visit that day and at least two visit the following day. Based on the late date, we might have the younger Martins make their nests here. Older and wiser scouts (according to some maps I looked at), would have visited a month ago. It's possible we could have missed the scouts arriving earlier, but I don't think so.
This site collects data about Martin arrival and we are going to enter ours here.

We also found a informative and inspiring video about caring for martins. Here's the link to JENNA's blog to watch it. :)
