Description
A pair of Purple Martins (Progne subis) seem to be arguing over apartment #3 in Conneaut Lake, Pa. They are the largest North American swallow and are known for their speed and agility in flight, and when approaching their housing, will dive from the sky at great speeds with their wings tucked. Almost all Purple Martins in the east now nest in birdhouses put up especially for them. Martin housing has a long history: some Native American tribes reportedly hung up hollow gourds around their villages to attract these birds.
