Tony Lau's site is located in Otsego, MN.


Tony had a pair in 2002, a pair in 2004 and 2 pair in 2005, every time the babies died at 10 days old. The culprit was either blackflies or blowflies.
Tony has attracted martins to his site several times over the years. He hopes that the addition of the pond in his back yard will help him establish his colony.

Nelson, Hauns, and Tony pull the liner into place, over 1300lbs!



Over 50 tons of rock was used for the pond, every bit of it put in place by Tony and his dad who helped rake the small rock.



Tony got the pond done in 2006 and moved his housing to the edge of the pond. The T14 was moved from a warped wooden pole to the current aluminum pole. He had 1 ASY pair that fledged 5 in 2007. He used a combination of fly spray for horses and nest changes to prevent parasite deaths.

Tony's site 9/07

Hoping for several pair in 2008
