I've got expert confirmation of natural osprey nests in two more
counties: Trumbull and Summit. Clearly, these birds are settling in and
'branching out' on their own. As for purple martins, the following
comments were included a letter to a local Columbus newspaper on
9/22/1831: "I certainly do not know of any other way in which so much
additional beauty may be given to Columbus, as by merely taking down all
the martinboxes. The martin is a savage bird, beyond all question, and
to retain him among us may justly be compared as a badge of barbarism,
for we find that the Indians have always been fond of him.” So there.
