All: Zoe Lucas reported another Purple Martin on Sable I. on 6 April, and there was a Barn Swallow at the Shearwater Airfield yseterday(?). Out-of-season martins ought to be scrutinzed for possible tropical vagrants - a few have occurred in USA. If a female, look for the pale collar on Purple Martin, lacking on other species. Males of some tropical martins are pale below - might look like female Purple, but are all-blue above. The Southern Martin male is all blue, but is smaller and has a deeper tail fork than Purple. Just dreamin' Cheers, Ian
