Hmmm, must have been one of those martins.

We have a crap load of them here on Lake Wisconsin. They eat mainly aquatic, small fish and such. But they make a mess in the trees they roost in. First the branches die then the tree after a couple of years of to much DO-DO

Martin Colony History: Start 2009 with one pair. Upgraded from S&K houses to two Trendsetter 12's with gourds beneath in 2013. I have experienced job, pet, and parental losses since '13. The Purple Martins lift my spirits and remind me how life continues forward by flying their little selves from Brazil back to my yard. As one forum person once told me, chin up DebA, look at the martins. Danger all around but yet they soar in the sky without a care in the world.

Ray you make me smile. :) See.

Maybe he's watching a tennis match.

Chriscreole, nice shot, they sure seem to like those dead tree limbs.
