[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 372157, member: 367"] yep, I'd clean it again and hopefully the martins decide to move in. I'm not sure what's going on here with the martins, this is the first year I've actually paid real close attention to them so it might be normal. We had a loner show up about a week ago then about 3 pairs for a couple days and they all left. Swallows started taking over the house. Today there was a lone martin standing on top of the house guarding it while swallows swooping at it trying to scare it away. Not sure if colonies stop for a break on the way north but It seems like an empty house would be a logical place to land. Tomorrow I'll check to see if the swallows started building and clean it out. Most of the orioles got re-nourished and moved on, I haven't tried to get a count but It looks like we are down to 3 or 4 pairs. [/QUOTE]
