Martins

Saw the Robins thread and did not want to hijack..

Seen any at your place yet?

I have three pair here at the shop in Zapata..

None at our place north of Dallas yet, but should be here any day.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen one. I do have a few cardinals and the aforementioned robins

This isn’t the topic I thought it might be, but I’ll write what I was gonna write nonetheless. If I won the lottery, one of the first things I would do is ask Bob Davis to pick out a Martin guitar...his dream one, without regard for cost, and I then I would buy it for him.

He welcomed me into his home at a time when I really needed it. Didn’t have a care in the world that afternoon...just me and Bob, a couple of guitars and a good time!

He did me a solid...he loves Martin’s and he does them proud! Yes sir, I’d buy Bob his dream Martin and not even hesitate!

They live among us, but they are not green like they are in the tv.

We had a great time Silvio Awhorse, really enjoyed swappin songs with ya. That one that you bought is awesome by the way! You are a far better picker than I will ever be my friend.

Any pics of these? We have a bunch of birds but not that good at ID'ng them.

I loved his sitcom...He was good in Bad Boys too

My apologies I thought this was the Robin thread

I never thought about carpeting my yard. Hmmmmm.....

After reading this thread, you should have.

I always look forward to their arrival. Typically 15 Feb here in Christoval. Sparrows will be served eviction notices from our Martin house prior by non-lethal means - or perhaps lethal if there are squatters.

Neat birds.

Ours usually start arriving in February also between the 12th & 15th.

What do they call a flock of Cedar Waxwings? An Ear-Full

We've had Robins since December

Shaken please. Tito's and I like it dirty.

Had a couple more males show up today trying to horn in on the action...

How do you cook them? Bacon wrapped on the grill?

And baste with Marvins Marvelous Martin Marinade..

Had eight pair of martins last week before freeze..

Never heard of seen this before but they all froze to death.. Cats have cleaned up the aftermath..

Had no idea this could/would happen..

Now I better take houses back down and look for more bodies..

Oh no. That sucks. I like martins.

I had 5 die from the cold as well.

Couldn’t survive -3 degree weather.
