Birdlife of Houston, Galveston and the UTC list Purple Martin through early
November. Late dates of Nov 25 and 30. So maybe your bird is not so crazy after
all. Now if you find one after this arctic blast that would be something.

I just had an apparent Purple Martin circling high over my house.
Female/immature type, but repeatedly calling the standard rolling "churp" call.
I don't know if Gray-breasted sounds similar to Purple, but the call was dead
on for the latter. Crazy! Lots of new migrants around.
