Another swallow species, the purple martin, abundant on the campus today. They get all their food in flight, by eating insects out of the air.

An article in NYRB, on a woman who made friends with swans. Helen Macdonald. My friend Megan Kaminski has a book, Birds of a Feather, that will be distributed in state parks in Kansas.
I of course read purple martinis before getting to the birds.
