We were expecting them to return from Brazil somewhere around the 14th or 15th of April. Even better, Gazebo Phil told me he saw a bird pop in yesterday that he thought was a Purple Martin, and not a European Starling, from the brief glance he got. The birds called and soared all around the area this morning, catching a snack here and there while checking out the gourds. Some of them even went into the gourds already!
Please take a look at Gazebo Phil's website all spring and summer. I know you will find watching the Purple Martin community grow, nest, and feeding hundreds of young birds extremely compelling.
