I cannot believe I live this close and have not had one opportunity to get there this summer! Perhaps I will soon.<br /><br />The eastern female purple martins are darker than the ones I saw out west when I lived there. In the Sonoran desert they set up housekeeping in saguaros! I love purple martins.
