[birding] Purple Martins

[Molly Monroe]

I was told yesterday by the USGS bird biologist that Purple Martins were seen in Mc/Dunn, not sure if it's the same place as last year but she said there are large snags in the area and she saw/heard at least two pair. We're still hearing a martin here and there around the refuge but no sign of them using the nest boxes yet!
