[va-bird] Purple Martins in Loudoun County

I have been remiss in my reporting but as I have seen little on this list
regarding Purple Martins I should report that they are back in Hamilton,
VA. As of today we have 8 (with what looks like 2 established pairs) and
they all appear to be settling in, not passing through. The first sighting
was a pair on the 24th.

We will be anxiously watching to see how they take to the excluder doors we
installed on the aluminum houses. So far the few that have tried entering
those compartments have succeeded but with minor difficulties. 

There is also a pair of tree swallows taking ownership of one of our boxes.
