Yesterday while on a bike ride, I ended up at the Eucalyptus grove at
Wilder Ranch and heard the calls of Purple Martins. Looked like a pair
investigating possible nesting holes in the dead trees. Some starlings
where in attendance as well.
I think the Martins nested there last year, so perhaps these are the same
birds (?)
