Purple Martins

Our Purple Martin house is full of baby birds! We enjoy watching these birds come in February to select their house and in March start building their nests. Soon we have a house full of baby birds chirping to be fed. We love watching how protective both parents are toward the babies. If we get to close to the nest they will dive close to our heads, even though the house is way above ground levl. These babies are feathered out and almost ready to fly!!

Beautiful birds! And my blog is linked to your blog! And I didn't even know you had a blog--how did I miss that?! Great layout slide show-I need to try one of those :) Glad I found you! This way I can keep up with what you are up to :) When are we getting together to scrap?
