We just put up a new 20 ft pole and 6 gourd style house. My grandpa Joe in Underwood (ND) always had martin houses (and boxes of 22 birdshot to feed the sparrows that tried to move in). The growling sound those mosquito eating buggers make will always be with me.
This is our first foray into housing martins. I suppose it's too late for attracting them this year but wanted to get it out there, test the winds, let the birds get used to seeing it etc.
Any other Purple Martin fans out there? If so - what web sites are best? Any hints/tips for newbs?

Royce eye view.
