Purple Martin Houses

Earlier in the morning, I had to go up in the bucket of the Hydro truck to reset the router that was about 60ft up in the air on a tower.

John Schultz was saying that the Purple Martins are migrating from central America and were spotted in huge flocks in Niagara on the Lake on Friday night.  We had to get the houses out or miss out on birds that will eat several thousand mosquitos every night!

I had to go into the bucket with a safety harness, and bring the house up about 50ft in the air and bolt it to the top of the pole.  As I was mounting it, there were already several martins squawking and dive bombing me!

Pretty kewl!
