Interesting. I took a class with Anastasia last year, and we went out and viewed Purple Martins at Jack Block in late April/early May. I will try to get out there early one day this weekend and see if they are around. They may not breed right away, but surely they have migrated up already..

i didn't photograph martins on the nest at jack block last year until mid- to late-august, if i remember correctly... they might be around, but not as active around the nests except very early morning or very late evening...
just checked my notes: young were still in nest 12 august, and photos were easy several hours before dusk...
