Observation details
Maming foraging trips back and forth from the nest gourds, some carrying nesting material. They went about their business as I stood nearby, photographing the birds in the high winds and morning sun. I watched as they all took to the sky together and were swept away by the southwest winds, before they cut through the air and zipped back to the gourds. The strong winds made for perfect weather to photograph them in flight; fighting against the current to get back to the nests, the martins often hung still in midair.
