    Purple Martin decoys/CD

    Has anyone ever used the purple martin decoys or the Dawn Song CD to attract the martins to your martin house?  If so, did it work. I have been considering purchasing some and was just wondering if it would be worth the time and money

    I've never used them, but here are articles from some that do:

    Hope that helps a bit.

    Thanks, KyRose, I'll check that out.  I actually placed a solar powered birdbath out today in hopes of attracting them.  Those decoys are inexpensive enough that I might buy a couple of them in an attempt to jumpstart things
