My Purple Martin housing consists of 2 poles. One with a gourds -4 S&K Combo plus & 4 troyer horizontals. The other pole with a 7 unit S&K ‘barn’ and 3 natural gourds. I have a shepherds hook with a tunneled Bo gourd, a blue bird box and a Flicker house high up in a pine tree. As a testament to S&K products I am happy to announce that almost all available compartments are occupied. The only house that’s empty is the cedar blue bird box. And that is because their haven’t been blue birds in Palm Beach county in about 50 years! All gourds all house compartments ALL taken. I was wondering why it was so calm at “bedtime”. I had assumed that some had moved on to greener pastures but I was mistaken. It’s just that everyone is happy now….until someone else shows up! I May have to put up another pole THIS year. Hmmmmm. Maybe it’s something in the water?
