I know the purple martins are close to leaving. They leave way earlier than they should you'd think and it's the most depressing day of summer...in a sea of depressing days...because it's summer.
We've had a lot of martins this year. Adding the second house last year (?) really gave them some extra room and I'm going to add four gourds to the new house for next year. I've seen farms with multiple houses and I know why they do it. I am tempted to add a third house as well.
Enjoy some happy chatter :-)

I love happy bird chatter. I hope you do add a third house next year.
The gourds are interesting! Do they prefer them to the birdhouse?
I'm not sure they prefer them to the house, but they do use them. It's an easy way to give them a little more room without having to assemble a house and set a new pole.
