Description
Copyright Warning Do Not Alter My Photographer Notes: While traveling near New Hope, PA I stopped the car to capture this amazing home for birds. A Purple Martin replica of the owners beautiful home. Purple Martin's travel long distances from South America to all points in North America. Purple Martins consume thousands and thousands of mosquitos daily. The Purple Martins have scouts which arrive to the mainland in early spring. These beautiful birds do return year after year to their original nesting homes. When I was young my father built a three story Purple Martin home. He would tag the young hatchlings and was able to keep a record of the young hatchlings return here to the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. Two months ago I reported to the National Purple Martin Society I had spotted a scout Martin flying over head. The scientist do research on the migration of the Purple Martins to North America. When my father passed away many years ago, I kept his diary of the individual notes he kept on the Purple Martins he had observed here in New Orleans Louisiana.
