MWE Purple Martin Babies by Jack

Today we went to see the baby Purple Martins.  We met Mrs. Cooper and Caden and Fahad at the Spark Park to see the Purple Martins. First we cranked down the houses and we looked in the other houses first for other nests.  We did not find any other Martin nests in the houses.  Then we checked in Pod 5, and the babies were sleeping.  Their feathers were growing on, they are bluish-purplish.  Some of their eyes were open and they opened their mouths because they wanted food.  They were cute.  Maddie, Mrs. Cooper and Caden held one of the babies, but I did not want to hold a baby.  I was afraid it was going to poop on me.

  1. Hi Jack,

    Don't worry about a little poop on your hand. Your Nana used to step in it a lot of times on the farm as the chickens roamed around freely and of course I was barefoot so you know what happened!! Love, Nana
