Birds of Kentucky: New Martin Condominiums 2015-04-28 - Greater Bliss, KY - Photo Junior Stotts. Some pretty fancy Purple Martin houses went up at the Junior & Connie Stotts residence yesterday. Even before the "Vacancy" sign went up, the birds started moving in, Junior Stotts reports. He is fascinated by the Purple Martins insistence on dining exclusively aloft. They catch all their food in the air, he said. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
