Washington State Purple Martins
Finally found a colony in our state. Purple Martins aren't everywhere in WA State like they are in the midwest and eastern U.S. but slowly they're becoming more nad more common. There are several colonies in Seattle, one in Everett, and a colony or two in lower puget sound regions like Olympia and Tacoma area.
The young in this colony are probably 3 weeks or so from fledging. The martins are some of the last arriving martins int he North America. A few make it up to BC, Canada area.
This is Shilshole Bay next to the Ballard Elks Club lodge in Seattle, WA.
