During this morning’s light drizzle, I spent a considerable amount of time
running cherry planks seasoned for decades through a plane. The procedure
was noisy enough for me to wear ear phones. At 9:36 A.M., moments after the
plane came coasting to a halt, I heard a “Chemp, Chornk!”
Stepped out the back door of the shop to see 2 Purple Martins perched
atop the plastic gourds. After becoming momentarily teary eyed at their
return, I reached for my camera and snapped a picture. They took off and
disappeared soon afterward. I began to think after a while that they may
have decided that our yard had become too noisy and had moved on. Then I
heard them again in about an hour. This time one began peering into a
compartment. Got its picture too. It would probably be a more correct
protocol to file 2 separate ebird incidental reports, but I’m far from
being alone in slightly bending ebird protocol. Two images with this link -
