Purple Martins and Freezing Weather


This time of year, we never know what the weather is going to do. I have heard of years that thousands of Martins were lost due to the freezing weather. We should be thankful that the Martins have not fully made it all over the United States with the freeze and snows we are having right now. We had a mild ice storm here last night, but it was much worse in many parts of the U.S. I am including an image of one year here at Rocky Mount when the Martins did arrive early and we had a snow and ice storm. They did make it through though, probably because it didn't last too long.
