After an absence of 5 days, I returned to the farm today to find two martins
on the martin house. It appears the barn swallows returned about a week
earlier than the martins. In contrast, the tree swallows have been fighting
over nest boxes for at least two weeks.

I had a pair come in at dark last night and roost in my box. These are the
first
martins I've seen as well. I assume these are "my birds" as they went in
the same nest
hole they used last year.
My nesting kestrels have disappeared. The pair was very visible last month
courting
and flying in and out of their box. I am starting to think an owl or larger
hawk may
have killed them.
