| The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land? |
| Particularly special is the pine martin, a member of the weasel family about the size of a house cat and found only in a few northern regions in the United States. |
| The house martin does not, like the chimney swallow, sweep the ground and water in its flight. |
| If any other species is allowed to settle into a martin house at an unestablished site, those houses will rarely attract nesting martins. |
| To the wall-like cliffs the house martin, Chelidon urbica, often attaches its mud-built cradle. |
| I'm thinking a phoebe, purple martin, starling fluttering up, a kingbird, I have no idea what's on the lowest wire, a nuthatch and a robin. |
