Here?s the story. I have my morning coffee setting at a small table looking out of a picture window into our backyard. I?ve been feeding a few mealworms to the martins about every morning. Some of them come close to the back door and set on a power line waiting. One male trys to attract my attention by flying up to the window and fluttering about two feet away. He done this several times this morning so I thought I?d try to get a picture. What I got is a picture of him about three feet out from the window coming at me.
