Lois and I have had a martin house plus gourds on our property for several years. We got Starlings and Tree Swallows. On Wednesday Lois saw a Purple Martin as she walked to the mailbox. I have since also been threatened by two Martins as they flew over my head. I'm not sure what they were saying, but think it was a warning that I was in their territory. I was walking back up the driveway and think perhaps we have our first Martin family nesting or babies on the ground. Wilma Boy wcboy@xxxxxxx
