[QUOTE="Sluggo, post: 30500, member: 667"] I'm a martin fan. My neighbor (in south Bismarck) put a house up near our property line and the martins return every spring. They seem to hijack a few holes in the house from the sparrows. He's probably had it up for 10+ years so I don't remember much about the original attracting part but I believe he just put it up like you have done, and eventually they found it. There was a house of them a block away before his house went up so that might have helped get them to the new house sooner, not sure. Your house looks cool. By the way, the martins showed up late this year, only about 2 weeks ago I believe so maybe they will find you yet. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
