Purple Martin
The purple martin (''Progne subis'') is a passerine bird in the swallow family Hirundinidae. It is the largest swallow in North America. Despite its name, the purple martin is not truly purple. The dark blackish-blue feathers have an iridescent sheen caused by the refraction of incident light giving them a bright blue to navy blue or deep purple appearance. In some light they may even appear green in color. Being migratory, their breeding range extends from central Alberta down through the eastern United States. Subspecies breed in Baja California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Most make a brief stopover in the Yucatán Peninsula or Cuba during pre-breeding migration to North America and during post-breeding migration before reaching their overwintering site in South America. They are known for their speed, agility, and their characteristic mix of rapid flapping and gliding flight pattern. When approaching their nesting site, they will dive from the sky at great speeds with their wing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Caribbean Martin
The Caribbean martin or white-bellied martin (''Progne dominicensis'') is a large swallow. It has at various times been considered alternatively as a race of the purple martin, ''Progne subis''. Distribution It breeds throughout the Caribbean, except on Cuba and Isla de la Juventud, where it is replaced by the related Cuban martin (''P. cryptoleuca''). It is closely related to the aforementioned species, as well as the Sinaloa martin (''P. sinaloae'') to which it used to be considered conspecific. There are sight records from mainland Central and South America, and most birds appear to migrate to the South American mainland. A single bird was recorded in Key West, Florida, on May 9, 1895 (AOU 2000). Description Adult Caribbean martins are 18.5 cm in length, with a forked tail and relatively broad wings, and weigh 40 g. Adult males are a glossy blue-black with contrasting white lower underparts. Females and juveniles are duller than the male, with grey-brown bre ...

Cuban Martin
The Cuban martin (''Progne cryptoleuca'') is a large swallow endemic to Cuba. It is closely related to the Caribbean martin (''P. dominicensis''), which breeds on Caribbean islands from Jamaica east to Tobago, and the Sinaloa martin (''P. sinaloae''), which breeds in Mexico. It has at various times been considered alternatively as a race of the purple martin, ''Progne subis''. Description Adult Cuban martins are 18.5 cm in length, with a forked tail and relatively broad wings, and weigh 40 g. Adult males are a glossy blue-black with contrasting white lower underparts. Females and juveniles are duller than the male, with grey-brown breast and flanks and white lower underparts. Adult male Cuban martins can be distinguished from adult male Caribbean martins by their dark bellies: Caribbean martins have a prominent white patch on theirs. Adult females and immatures aren't as easily distinguished. On the other hand, adult male Cuban martins and Purple martins cannot be ...

Sinaloa Martin
The Sinaloa martin (''Progne sinaloae'') is a species of bird in the family Hirundinidae. This large and poorly-documented swallow is occasionally considered to be a subspecies of the Caribbean martin, ''Progne dominicensis''. It breeds semicolonially in sheer cliff faces within pine-oak forests of the Sierra Madre Occidental of western Mexico, nesting in cavities. Presumed migrant records also come from Belize and Guatemala. It is assumed to winter in South America; however, this is not known with certainty. Description Adult males have dark iridescent blue-black feathers with a contrasting white patch covering the belly to the vent, much like the related Caribbean martin. However, its reproductive situation and different habitat preference supports its status as a species. The adult female and immature form of the Sinaloa martin are very similar to related ''Progne'' species such as the Cuban martin, Caribbean martin, and purple martin.

Purple Martins (Progne Subis) Ford Bay Marina 09
Purple is any of a variety of colors with hue between red and blue. In the RGB color model used in computer and television screens, purples are produced by mixing red and blue light. In the RYB color model historically used by painters, purples are created with a combination of red and blue pigments. In the CMYK color model used in printing, purples are made by combining magenta pigment with either cyan pigment, black pigment, or both. Purple has long been associated with royalty, originally because Tyrian purple dye, made from the mucus secretion of a species of snail, was extremely expensive in antiquity. Purple was the color worn by Roman magistrates; it became the imperial color worn by the rulers of the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, and later by Roman Catholic bishops. Similarly in Japan, the color is traditionally associated with the emperor and aristocracy. According to contemporary surveys in Europe and the United States, purple is the color most of ...
