Subject: [Ohio-birds] More osprey nests, purple martins



I've got expert confirmation of natural osprey nests in two more 

counties: Trumbull and Summit. Clearly, these birds are settling in and 

'branching out' on their own. As for purple martins, the following 

comments were included a letter to a local Columbus newspaper on 

9/22/1831: "I certainly do not know of any other way in which so much 

additional beauty may be given to Columbus, as by merely taking down all 

the martinboxes. The martin is a savage bird, beyond all question, and 

to retain him among us may justly be compared as a badge of barbarism, 

for we find that the Indians have always been fond of him.” So there.
