Hey Tommy,
I would recommend providing a bird house(s) for the tree swallows to nest in
instead of the martin housing. If tree swallows set up shop in martin housing,
they will not allow martins to nest, especially at a new site where martins
have not nested previously.

In our new martin house I have recently seen tree swallows flying in and out
of it, but no martins. Anyone else had different birds in their martin houses?
