  1. Eric, please share your photos with more care. Not only did you upload this photo twice, it also has the title problem like many of your images. Please replace titles like "ITALY_PICS_AND_MORE_1181" with something meaningful, such as the species name and location. Posted 11 years ago

The purple martin is the largest North American swallow. These aerial acrobats have speed and agility in flight, and when approaching their housing, will dive from the sky at great speeds with their wings tucked.
