Purple Martin’s are wonderful birds. Do you have a Martin house on your property? Growing up on a farm we had two Martin houses. As a kid I loved watching the Martins, the barn swallows and the chimney swifts.
Yes, they look so joyful up there flying! I’m sure i tend to attribute human thoughts to animals, though, so they may really only be looking for their next meal in reality! I grew up on a small farm on a mountain not far from where we live now, but we never had a purple martin house, or any other bird houses that I recall. We did have feeders, though, and I vividly remember watching birds come to the feeders in the snow on the back porch. I do most of my live birding shots now days from places like Ditto Landing by the Tennessee River, or as in this case, on the Aldredge Creek Greenway.
BTW, I really enjoy hearing where you guys will wind up next as you travel! The photos and details of small day-to-day things are especially captivating!
Cool ^^;
Thanks, Yolanda! 🙂
