Barn swallows are fabulous predator alarms for my martins! My bluebird box is 6 feet high and about 10 feet from the Martin house- no competition aside from when the blue birds want to perch on top of the Martin house to browse for bugs on the ground.

Just beautiful, thank you for showing us the banding process. I was wondering how you were going to get to the gourds and was surprised that you just turn a crank to lower the structure. Wish I could have a purple martin setup but it is a bit pricey for me.

Yes, sometimes subadult males will try to take over an existing nest - but the female was feisty and fought off many troublemakers! And yes, there was footage in this video of a hawk colliding with the gourd rack! It appears the hawk was going after one of our Purple Martin decoys (which is exactly why we put them out there!) - so the real martins were able to get away. It can be an emotional rollercoaster for sure, but seeing the babies fledge at the end of the season is always rewarding!

We hear you! Invasive species like European Starlings are a common problem people deal with when trying to host Purple Martins.

You gotta let nature take is way, you can’t intervene in nature if the dragon fly got stuck in the birds mouth so be it. Its mom would’ve seen it and took it out for it. Just my opinion I’m sure many more would agree to not intervene in nature then again u did make these house so they can live in them so you do what u please 🙏🏽.

The martins accept most flying insects, but to protect and understand these birds, conserve the habitats crucial to their survival, and help educate the public about their importance, the PMCA accepts either - or more importantly, we accept people's invaluable time and energy to host Purple Martins!

After 5 years with our house up, this year we finally had visitors in NE Ohio but no residents. When you say leave the housing up so the nearby fledgelings can scope out housing options, do you mean raised or just up as in out? We have a T14 and have it lowered now for maintenance and guard installation. Love these live Q&As!
