The scouts (meaning simply the ones that make it back to the USA first after their second year of residing here) will arrive in Texas as the middle of January. But the birds returning for their second year start arriving around 8 week after the scouts. This will be the ones that will interest people because you have just put up housing for them. They are the ones looking for some real estate for their new family to be.

Why is a purple Martin called a purple Martin?
Purple martins were initially though to be closely related to European House Martins due to their forked tail, but they are only distantly related, is one though. Another theory is that they were named after the Roman god of war "Mars" and the "tin" or "ten" is a pet name...so basically "little mars" either due to their tenacity in chasing off predators or perhaps as Mars refers to the first month of the calendar, when the first martins start to return. The Purple part is a misnomer since they are really a deep blue-not purple.
