PMs are 51 miles out!

I received a message from a fellow member of our local Grand Cities Bird Club that an ASY (after second year, fully mature) male Purple Martin was spotted at 3:30 p.m. yesterday in Buxton, ND. That is 51 miles from my little town of Larimore, or "just next door" in prairie speak!

We had planned to hang the 15 gourds Monday; they were clean, prepped, and waiting on the sunporch. I'm so glad I didn't wait to install the new winch.

After getting the news I set Easter dinner preparations aside. My four-year-old neighbor had just finished coloring eggs with me so the imporant part was ready! Wes came out with me and we re-invented the assembly line. The gourds were wired on in no time.

I hope to hear that distinct chattering today!

Happy Easter!
