Purple martin 05/25 nest check
49 total cavities, only 2 of which were not active nests and empty. 1 had a sparrow nest that somehow eluded me. Counted 105+ eggs in 21 cavities and the other 25 cavities had a total of 111 babies, ranging from just hatched pinkies to a few nestlings that were pretty far along. Never had this many hatchlings so early in the year.
I did have a dead male martin just inside the entrance in 1 of the empty nests. Not sure what happened to him tbh but I hope it wasn't a d*** HOSP from the nest I removed. I can't believe I missed that.

The 2023 year is coming to an end for our colony. Still a few birds hanging around. Most of them just hang out on the perches and seldom enter the cavities until night time. I always hate this time of year when I know I won't be greeted with their morning chatter much longer. 🙁
Purple Martin nest check...Trinity Acres colony is growing!
มุมมอง 2Kปีที่แล้ว
Nest check 5.29.2023. All but 2 of the 36 cavities are occupied. Various stages from eggs, newborn pinkies, and babies further along with plenty of feathers and close to fledging. Still about 50% of the eggs yet to hatch. I estimate 60-65 eggs and probably 70 babies. No evidence of mites!!! 👌 Praying the heat doesn't get as bad as last year. 😕

Trio Castle purple martin house modifications
มุมมอง 306ปีที่แล้ว
Trio Castle Martin House modifications, door swap and nest check. Modifications include: Converted from 24 cavities to 12 larger rooms. Replaced the round entrance doors with new starling resistant crescent shaped entrances. Added 2" vents from Ventmastersstore.com to the doors I replaced that I swap out for the solid plugged doors that I have in when the martins first arrive and it's so cold. ...
The purple martins are happy with each other this morning.

Happy martins to start the weekend. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they start fighting over nesting compartments. Love to hear their chatter.

    Truly top notch work on the Trio modifications! The larger (what appears to be 3") room connecting holes, and the nice thick 3/4" wing entrapment protectors, are perfect. The 2" connecting holes that are shown in Trio/Nature House's official compartment enlarging instructions, are too small, as numerous folks have reported over the years about Martins getting caught in the 2" connecting holes during fights with other Martins. Your Martins are lucky to have you as a landlord!

I love your set-up, both here in this video from 2021, and, also, and even more, the videos from 2022 ! I just watched the videos that you posted in the past few days and WOW,,, I must say, WHAT AN AMAZING COLONY!!! Thank you for sharing with me on the telephone the other day!

    Nice gate! Does your Ghost Opener ever get out of the "closed" position adjustment, requiring readjusting the closed position with the control board? Mine sometimes changes the closed setting and closes 4~6 inches past the close gate post. It will close incorrectly until its "closed" setting is programmed/adjusted again on the control board.

    • @trinityacreshomestead4147
      @trinityacreshomestead4147 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It has gotten out of whack a couple of times during really high winds. My gate is heavy at over 250 pounds and when it's really windy it has closed but then opens up about 2 feet. I have a "hard stop" on mine where it hits a post. I think it senses the gate is jammed or something and opens up as a safety precaution. It also blew one of the 10amp fuses once. It does require a complete "reset" and new setting adjustment every now and then. It's a nuisance but not a big deal. I've been very happy with Ghost Controls as a whole and their CS is excellent.

    • @ridemfast7625
      @ridemfast7625 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@trinityacreshomestead4147 I almost added a bumper, hard stop, and given what you said that would make it open back up. Probably wont add one given your experience. Another Ghost owner with a Zombie lock says his bounces out of the lock and does not lock. It stops short an inch or two of the lock and he also has to readjust closed position. Two neighbors have US Auto openers, I think the Patriot model because their control boards and battery are in a large metal housing, and theirs always stays in position. Both are steel gates but 14 ft and one does not look as solid/ heavy as yours. The other gate has an ~18+ inch high strip of solid metal along the entire length of the bottom of the gate to keep their little dog from escaping. Looks like that strip would create some resistance in windy situations. I appreciate your time and will also accept this as a "feature" along with the $1,000 savings.

      I think it's the best bang for the buck in terms of directional fish feeders IMO. I've bought lots of deer feeders and deer feeder components from ForEverlast over the years and I've been very happy with all purchases. I found this feeder on clearance at Academy and just couldn't pass up the price. The 2 motor system is unique for sure. So far so good. 👌
