I was taking a series of photos the other day to stitch together for a banner for this page....scroll down to the bottom of this page to see it.....and had no idea that I had accidentally--perhaps even miraculously!--captured this Purple Martin in flight. These birds dart around like crazy snatching mosquitoes from the sky, so we all have Martin Houses in our yards to coax them to stay close. They're very helpful in controlling the mosquito population but very hard to photograph. Sometimes we just get really lucky!!
