Hi all,
I did some birding along the lakefront in Milwaukee this morning and it was
very quiet. The highlight of the morning was at Lakeshore State Park where
Purple Martins were checking out the one and only Purple Martin house. The
Purple Martins were also defending the house from Tree Swallows and Barn
Swallows while I was there. Were the Purple Martins checking it out for
next spring?? I don't know. I heard mentioned the house has never been used
before by Purple Martins there at the park so it will be interesting to see
if something becomes of this next spring.
A few images here of the Purple Martins in flight and checking out the
house at Lakeshore State Park at the link below. If I have something
mislabeled please let me know, thank you.
