Highflyer, are your martin houses made out of gourds? I have heard that some people have better luck with that style of house compared to the traditional multi compartment house that I have up. I don't think I will get any martins this year, but I do think I have the tree swallow problem figured out.
My wife and I were out at the pond last weekend and in one evening we saw tree swallows, barn swallows, cliff swallows, chimney swifts and some sort of bat. Even with all of that activity, there were plenty of mosquitos to keep us busy swatting.
