Well, this is a first...

That I'm aware of anyhow. A pair of Carolina Wrens are nesting in the purple martin house. House finches, bluebirds, now Carolina Wrens, but never a purple martin. LOL!
Lovely shot

Curious indeed

@ososki LOL! Odd cavity dwellers will nest in it. The purple martin house is NOT in an open field to attract purple martins. They like big open spaces and trees surround my place.

This one seems pretty happy about it!

@ljmanning Ha ha! You are right!

What is supposed to make it a purple martin house? I’m glad it gets occupied for you.

@shutterbug49 https://www.amazon.com/Mfg-Purple-Martin-House-Room/dp/B00004ZBQN/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3N2KY1ELG5VDO&keywords=purple+martin+house&qid=1686046555&sprefix=purple%2520martin%2520house%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-5&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc That's what it says. Was a gift from a friend who also put it up. I told him no purple martins would find it. If you see gourds strung up in hay fields around farms, those are for purple martins. They're good bug eaters. You can see more about them here - https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Purple_Martin
