Description
Early Purple Martins arriving in Richardson, Texas and captured with a Nikon camera and lens. The image has been painted digitally and a background texture added.
The spring arrival of Purple Martins typically begins in mid-January through early February in South Texas, while they may not appear in northern areas of the Panhandle until late March. Arrivals typically continue at individual colonies for 16-22 weeks. Timing of arrival is age and sex-related, as older age classes generally precede younger birds, and males generally precede females of their respective age class. In Texas, second-year Purple Martins arrive about two months after the earliest birds arrive. When new colonies are established, it is usually by these late-arriving second-year birds.
