    Oh Brooke, seeing you put Purple Martin houses up, just warms my heart and, it brings tears to my eyes. I grew up in a tiny town here in IL and my dad ALWAYS had Purple Martin houses. When they moved to Crossville Tn to finish out thier lives, dad had the Exact set up you do. And, he was quite successful in having several pairs come every year, sometimes upwards of 20 pairs. So, you might end up with two poles eventually.
    They are absolutely Beautiful birds and they have the sweetest sound, you'll, so enjoy sitting and listening to thier conversations.
    As tears are starting to flow now, thinking about my folks and how much I miss them both, I'm overjoyed, that my FAVORITE channels, the Cog bunch , are going to get to enjoy, the Purple Martin's, just as my mom and dad did.
    Many many Blessings to you all,
    Laurel 🥲🥰🥰

    My father was a Purple Martin lover as well. I remember you have to clean out any Sparrows nesting in there until the Martins arrive. Once Established, they will keep the Sparrows away.

    We had a Martin house when I was a kid. They send out scouts first. We always waited for the scouts and would clean out our houses then. Sparrows will nest in the houses so cleaning when you see the scouts helps with the timing. They are so pretty to watch and have a delightful song to listen to. I am envious.

      Interesting setup. My concern is the hummmm of the power lines. If they come but don't stay, that may be the reason.
      With all these frequencies changing over the years, it might be a bit of an overwhelming thing to these precious darlings.
      They don't eat bees - do they?
