At 8:25 AM yesterday (Feb. 24) a male and female Purple Martin were seen at The
Honors Course (golf course) in Ooltewah. I did not see them but I had asked an
employee who knows birds fairly good to be on the lookout. He showed me photos
and a video with sound this morning that he made yesterday. This is one day
later than the first seen last year and 2 days later than the earliest (Feb.
22, 2005) they have every seen at that location.
