: I am surrounded, and happily so. Approximately 30 or so have been swooping in and out of the top of my Norfolk Island Pine; they stop to preen, then take off and come back. Sometimes two fly straight up in the air together, chest to chest, and then on the down spiral it looks like they're kissing as they tumble over each other. This is the third day in a row; see what happens over the weekend.
I have been a purple martin fan for 3 yrs. now. I warn you becareful they are very addicting little birds. Once you read up on them and learn about their migriatory habits. You will love them. i don't know where you live, if you get a chance go over to Dadeland Mall around dusk on the side that faces Kendall Dr. and you will see hundreds of them racing in and roosting in the tress in the parking lot. Its amazing how many of them are there. Enjoy
