Nope, don't know about the sight. Just a bunch of local interest among friends who want to be the first to spot them in February. I don't use houses. We grow gourds and paint them. The martins love them. I tried plastic gourds several years ago, but unless you've got a huge colony returning with limited housing available, they just don't seem to like them as much. We kinda have it down to a science of dipping these new-crop gourds in a diluted paint solution around the first of February and hanging them on our poles. The gourds will last a couple of years if they are painted every year. We have more problem with the attaching wires breaking in the breeze than the gourds deteriorating. That reminds me...I can't figure out how to post the picture here, but I will post it on the "Stuck & Troubled" section to the left of one of my gourds last year that a bee colony decided to take up in. I didn't know it until the weight made it crash to the ground one day last October!
