I went outside to check for the mail (still not here) and heard an unfamiliar cheeping above me. I looked up and saw 3 Purple Martins flying overhead, which explained my confusion, since those are the first martins I've seen or heard at our house in the almost 13 years (August 15) that we've been living here and our 100th backyard bird. Martins like water and the closest water to us is about a mile away in the WMA. We'd been stuck on 99 for more than 2 years since a couple of Laughing Gulls flew over the house in May of '22. It's Even Number Syndrome; #101 won't seem nearly as significant.
