Hello,   I have been hearing new birs sounds in my yard and finally spotted the 
birds yesterday. I saw a female and a male purple martin in an old dead tree 
on my property here in Newport NH. I would imagine since they are spending 
so much time in this tree, they must be nesting there. I have never seen them 
before. They are beautiful birds. I wonder if they are the reason the starlings 
did not come back to nest this year. I did get one picture but it isn't that 
great so I will try to get more this weekend and post them to my blog on 
Monday. Have a great weekend.   Anne
