Hi Folks, I just got my last gourd rack up today and at 5:00 PM just before the rain started Mr Purple Majesty came home! My wife Kyle had been riding horses and I was doing some woodwork in my shop and as she started down the drive to the house she stopped by the shop and ask me to look on the middle T-14 to see if there was a sparrow on the perch. I had my pellet rifle with me and looked through the scope to ID the bird, that turned out to be a finch, when Kyle said LOOK! Zooming right overhead to the 8 year old T-14 a male martin seemed to fly right through the crescent unannounced.
This is Kyle and Harry feeding last year looking in the same direction as today.
