Purple Martin Association of the Dakotas

I've been setting out plants out in front garden this morning. I'm not making much headway since it seems to take me longer and longer to get down on the ground - and then get back up. I'm sure I amuse the neighbors.

I walked under the martins' pole and felt eyes staring at me. A large ASY male was sitting on his porch with his mouth stuffed to overflowing with several pieces of dried stalks. I wish I could have gotten a photo; he looked silly.

He looked at me, turned around, and stuffed them in the gourd. When he came back out he shook out his feathers, gave me a 'what are you looking at' glare, and continued to preen.

They are nesting at the Greenway of Greater Grand Forks Purple Martin Site too.

Mr. Perry

Congrats.
That's exiting and a surprise at the same time?
Read you are in "Martin Free" area, been watching for your Scout Report.

On a side note; Raised a Trio Castle style house (upgraded, perch tower, P. guard) at a site
near the river, in T.R.F. yesterday. Am hoping for some of the same happenen there
