Martins may move into a new home the day it is put up, or it may take ten years for them to nest in it.

The house should be mounted 10 to 20 feet off the ground, preferably on a telescoping pole so that it can be lowered for easy cleaning and for checking on the young in the nests.

 Martin House   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Martin House was distinguished from most of Wright's other prairie style houses by its unusually large size and open plan.
Today, after periods of neglect and vandalism, the Martin house is partially restored, although the conservatory, pergola, and carriage house have been demolished.
In 1954, the Martin house was subdivided into two apartments and an owner's residence, and so remained until its purchase in 1966 by the State University of New York at Buffalo.

 British Garden Birds - House Martin
In flight, House Martins appear fl and white, with the white rump being a key characteristic.
House Martins feed on the wing; the diet is insects, such as flies, beetles and aphids.

Read: he's a strong man. Soon after, his weakness is revealed, when, he's nearly busted while installing hidden cameras in Hattie Mae's house: she enters the house and he scurries to hide in the bathroom, where he then endures several appalling minutes of squirming while relieves herself (noisily) and prepares to bathe.
