At 7:30AM this morning I observed a PURPLE MARTIN circling, but quickly migrating northeast over Sandusky St., Delaware, OH. The sun had just risen, and the swallow was flying fairly low, or low enough to make a confident identification. Also on campus, our Chipping Sparrows are more numerous, with 4 singing this morning. Siskins are still present; a few more than on Saturday, and singing beautifully.
