Progne subis
Large glossy swallows, the males are dark purple and the females are brown. According to the "All About Birds" website: "In the East, dark, glossy-blue males and brown females will peer from the entrances [of Purple Martin homes] and chirp from the rooftops all summer. In the West, martins mainly still nest the old-fashioned way—in woodpecker holes"
