The Purple Martins return to LaSalle!
After requesting information on Facebook, The Times-Signal learned that several parish residents have spotted Purple Martins in the area last week. Tony Thompson and Kim Finlay Poole of Jena reported that they saw the birds Tuesday and Eddie G. Brooks sent this picture in having taken it on Tuesday of last week as well. The arrival of Purple Martins usually signifies the end of winter as the birds have made their migratory track from South America back north.
