Migrating Martins

[linsue]

Info for our northern landlords--your "babies" have made it to SC!! For the past week, there have been quite a few martins in the area--from small groups of three or four to around forty or fifty. They are flying around for hours feeding and skimming the lake for water; however, they are completely silent--no chirping at all. Hopefully, they have missed the bad weather and will have a safe trip to Brazil. It's great to see them again since ours have been gone for months.

I didn't know they are still around, I thought they were in Brazil by now.

It wont be long now before they are all gone from the U.S. Or will they be? Sometimes I wonder if a few stay way down in the Florida keys and never make it to Brazil.
