State Capitol Martins

Purple Martins (female between two males) in front of South Dakota State Capitol
Pierre, South Dakota is situated on the very western edge of the normal range of the Purple Martin. However, we do have a thriving colony of these large swallows living on the grounds of our State Capitol. This morning I noticed that the Purple Martins had returned, and I just couldn't resist taking a few photos.
