Grey-breasted Martins

avatar

Grey-breasted Martin's are fairly common in tropical towns and villages in South and Central America. They prefer open areas with tall trees or other structures that provide nest cavaties.
They resemble the female Purple Martin of North America.

Martins are known for their speed, agility, and their swooping and gliding flight patterns as they hunt for insects. They dive from the sky at great speeds with their wings tucked as they approach their nesting sites.

These photos are from my family albums and were taken by my kids in Zihuatanejo Mexico.

Hello, lady @melinda010100, good afternoon.

What beautiful photographs your son took in Mexico. I love the photo of the swallows with the ocean in the background.

Have a beautiful afternoon.

Earlier I didn't know much about this bird, but after your post my knowledge has increased and this place is always near the sea, it is beautiful and I get a lot of peace by going here.

Yes we do have some beautiful birds here, but there are a lot of people who love to take them as pets and sometimes hunt them down so the numbers are declining. I hope to be able to photograph them and share them here on Hive and the feater friend community.

Beautiful birds. It takes a lot of effort to photograph birds, it's easier with a camera with a good telephoto lens, not with a phone I think.

Grey-breasted Martin's

I have seen these types of birds a lot in my local area but I had no idea they were named Martins.

Very interesting. My parents have a big purple martin house and always love having them in the backyard in the summer. Sadly, the last time I took it down and cleaned it out for the winter, I closed all the doors to the inside nest spaces. My Dad passed away in December and I doubt if the house will get opened back up for the martins this year 🙁 I should have done it when I was there in early March...
