Description
Every year the Purple Martins come to Nimisila Reservoir to roost. They come and gather in the thousands before they head south for the Winter. This is an incredibly popular site to see at Nimisila, and people come from near and far to see this phenomenal gathering.
This is a composite image of the purple martins, meaning this artwork was made from two images. One as a single Purple Martin gets ready to rest in the reeds, and the background image is of the Purple Martins in flight. Literally thousands can be seen up in the air. See my Facebook page Rosette Doyle Nature Photography for a video of this.
Texture added for a painterly effect, which completes the artistic image. s
