Yes, Hank, the hole has been enlarged to accommodate the transmitters. Unfortunately, that also allows other birds and critters to invade the houses. While the number of babies is down, it is hoped to be a cyclical phenomenon.

Great capture on this one Cindy.

Nice sharp image. Looks like it's playing peek-a-boo.

Beauty, Cindy!

Super shot Cindy. I think it is thinking "please hurry, I'm hungry". Notice the enlarged hole at the top. I think that must be to accommodate the transmitters they have attached to the backs of some of the Martins.

Such a hopeful little face - good eye to see this moment and capture it.
