Over the years we have developed a great community of Purple Martins. Now about 20 pair next in our 6 houses.
Unfortunately, this bugger has been harassing the community. As you can see, I have covered all the houses in wire after the first attack I saw.
He/she has become very bold and I can get within 20' when I shoot a water pistol to get it moving.
Our mockingbirds swoop in from the back and peck at it, but it is unfazed.
This afternoon I found it sitting on our deck railing outside our door.
It is a beautiful bird, but how do I convince it to go find mice and snakes in the field?!?!?!?!?!
