It has been a battle this year, first with bluebirds, (I let them have their way), but they just wanted a vantage point for dive bombing insects in yard. That 'point' was the top of the martin house. But they kept martin scouts away early on.
After a while blue birds left and settled on their own house and power lines.
Then sparrows came and most went, except for one determined couple that finally did establish a nest on opposite side of martin house from where the active martins were.
It has been a noisy and troublesome site however, because the male martins don't want anything to do with them and dive bomb them.
The male sparrow is tenacious though, and has put up a fight for his nesting hole.
Well, this morning I got a good shot at the female and took her out. After putting about 3 nice dents in martin house. Ouch.
Male has not yet figured it out and still keeps coming back.
A few more dings and I'll get him. Hope the house holds up.[:D]
