Nest building continues...  Several of the ASY pairs are now bringing in green leaves and a few have started egg laying.  The SY (second year) birds are continuing to arrive and pair up.  The SY birds should begin nest building soon.  The Memory Lake Colony has 20 nests started, 4 of which have eggs.  The Snake River Colony has 7 nests started.  The Pokegama Lake Colony has 3 nests started.  The ECE Colony has 21 nests started, 4 of which have eggs.  The Rush Lake Colony has 3 nests started.  There still hasn't been any activity at the Plastech Corp. Site in Rush City.  After this season, the housing may be relocated to different location if it doesn't host nesting pairs this season.  In total, the ECMPMR colonies have 54 nests started!  Some of these nests will likely not result in eggs as some Purple Martin pairs will build nests in multiple cavities.  However, the 2008 season is off to a great start!
