I sometimes get early male Purple Martins in Memphis around the middle of
February, imagine my surprise when one spun around me Saturday, Feb. 15, near
Cates, TN just a few miles south of the KY line in Lake Co.
Even more surprising was, when I told Nancy Moore about it, she related the
following. When they first opened Back Yard Birds B&B at Reelfoot some years
back, they put up a Purple Martin house and stood back to admire it, a male
Purple Martin suddenly appeared out of nowhere to inspect it. The surprise
was it was FEB. 15 !!
I'll check some sites here at Memphis tomorrow......
Good Birding!!!
