We had some martins come by and stay a couple of days, but now they e gone. Where did they go?
To be honest, I don’t know, but here are a couple of possible answers. One, they could very well be just passing through and found your site to rest for a few days. This often happens with older birds since they are headed back to the site where they nested last year. The will often take a day or two during their migration and stay at any available house that’s along the way to rest a little. Two, it could be very early in the season and they just aren’t ready to settle in a house yet. Remember, they are still wild birds and usually the only time they stay in housing is when nesting is taking place. Three, if these are young SY birds, then there could be any number of reasons. They are the hardest to predict. Younger birds just don’t seem to be in a hurry to nest and even when they do, their hearts aren’t fully in it. However, once a nest is completed and eggs are laid, then they will start putting more effort to the task at hand and most of the time, they will succeed in fledging youn
