Purple Martin house
Is it too late in the season to expect purple martins to arrive in my two houses in Delray Beach, Florida?
Well, the Martin houses at Green Cay have been occupied for over a month already, so I would expect that if Purple Martins were going to be occupying your houses this season they would be there by now. However, having said that, every Purple Martin house was new once and eventually became occupied so there is hope for the future. Where are your houses situated on your property? Be certain that plenty of open space surrounds them on all sides.
