Dan stopped by the studio and picked up a vintage original “Purple Martin” from my Pop Art series from 2003. ShawnMcNulty.com #popart #art #blueskyart #stevemartin #abstract #abstractart #artstudio #minneapolis #warhol #abstractpainting #purplemartin

Purple Martins always look so intense. Like they are giving very serious thought to a very serious problem. Unfortunately, they seem to consider me to be one of those very serious problems, because I have yet to get close enough to get a picture I'm really happy with. But, this is my favorite so far so, here it is.

A large, purply-blue songbird, broad wings raised, wheels furiously back from a white pod-like nestbox to dispose of a defective twig.

Time for some more linocut purple martin birds, and a purple martin birdhouses. The male birds are a glossy blue-black and the female birds are brown with a blue patch on their heads. They are acrobatic birds, and the largest North American birds in the swallow family. They are are considered synanthropic; they have developed a relationship with humans after living near people for centuries.

At least 6 drying prints on a tabletop top showing two purple martins and a purple martin birdhouse. These linocuts are printed by hand on Japanese kozo, or mulberry, washi paper. The male is in blue and black, the female in shades of brown with blue and the house is in purple. Each sheet is 12.5” tall by 9.25” wide (31.7 cm by 23.5 cm).

Honey, I'm home!!!

A rather grayish swallow with a touch of iridescent navy on the head is landing on the porch of an artificial nest box. This is the female Purple Martin. Photo by Peachfront. Southeast Louisiana.

I'm thinking of going out to find a Purple Martin colony today

last year my pictures were terrible as i could never get focus in time for this fast moving critter 1/2000 sec was not fast enough...

i'd like to see if i've improved but the catch is, the workshop i took was hummingbirds which hover a lot & make it a lil easier...

A rather ordinary photo of a detail of Purple Martin apartment complex made of artificial white gourds. A grayish female sits on the porch of a unit in the upper right. A second grayish female is flying in a posture that makes it look like she's coming in for a "slider" to land on the central unit's porch. A shiny blue (not purple to my eye) male is flying to the left with a dragonfly in his beak. May 2024. Southeast Louisiana. Photo by Peachfront.

After the overcast days of the past few weeks, I was happy to see some sunshine. It was early morning, and Institute Woods and Charles H. Rogers Wildlife Refuge were full of sun, bird watchers, and photographers for the World Series of Birding Day. I walked around the outer edge of the swamp marsh at Charles H. Rogers Wildlife Refuge to the southwestern edge. I saw the Purple Martin before I heard it. I don’t think it made any sounds.

I identified this bird as a female Purple Martin by uploading it to iNaturalist. While Merlin ID can identify birds by sound and visuals, what makes iNaturalist appealing is that other app users can confirm the identification. This gives me confidence that the identification is correct.

The female Purple Martin (Progne subis) has a greyish-brown upper body, a lighter, pale belly, and faintly streaked underparts. This muted colouring provides camouflage, helping her protect the nest and young from predators. Female Purple Martins collect twigs and other materials to construct sturdy nests. Twigs and softer materials like grass and leaves ensure the nest is well-insulated and comfortable, maintaining a stable temperature for egg incubation and chick development. A sunny morning is perfect for starting a twig collection. Dry materials help control moisture, preventing mould and bacteria growth.

Charles H. Rogers Wildlife Refuge offers Purple Martins an ideal habitat with open wetlands, dedicated nesting structures, and abundant insects. The diverse ecosystem, proximity to water, and managed environment provide excellent conditions for these aerial insectivores. Ongoing conservation efforts ensure the refuge remains a suitable home for Purple Martins.

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For Purple Martin majesties

Trials of a Branch Manager
#Birds #PurpleMartin #PUMA #Delaware

Back to us, a deep blue swallow-like bird perches on the lip of the entrance to an industrial-looking white plastic habitat, a twig almost as long as its body held in its beak.

The martin presents the stick parallel to the entrance to the habitat, which is a low and wide slot.

The stick, rather longer than the entrance slot is wide, can't go in in this orientation and the martin suffers a humiliating faceplant, losing its footing.

Furious with this defective merchandise, the martin spreads its wings and wheels away from the perch, screaming off to Home Depot to complain to the manager.

We went back to the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens today. We again saw a variety of flowers and birds. We had many Orchard Oriole sightings as well as many swallows as usual, though unfortunately no Baltimore Orioles.
