FALL HOUSE CLEANING
Did you know that Purple Martins are very particular and will not return to their house if it isn't clean? There are six apartments in our houses. The one house had four apartments that had been occupied, but take a good look at the one; that's one nest, so large it pushed the sides out of the other apartments.
Frank and Dotty Guillen do the house keeping every year. The old nests are removed and the houses are scrubbed. It's a good thing there aren't any windows because Dotty would be polishing them too. Those Purple Martins are a sight to behold when they swarm in to eat those flying bugs in the spring.
Thank you Frank and Dotty!
