Many GreatBirdPics.com members commented on JamesD’s report and pictures of Purple Martins from Griggsville, Illinois recently. He returned there to show his wife the town and sent in a followup report.
He stopped in at the park where many Purple Martin Houses are kept and met a member of the BirdCity Boys – a club maintaining the bird houses. JamesD was given some memorabilia about the area. Be sure to click the pic and read more about his trip in the Description.
He was then invited to observe the BirdCity Boys as they checked the Purple Martin homes one-by-one. Here is a picture inside a home of Purple Martin eggs on a nest.
Peering inside another nest he saw these tiny 3-day old Purple Martin chicks.
Finally, a mature male Purple Martin keeping an eye on the humans.
