Its sounds like you must have gotten near a Purple Martin Colony that has had several attacks and they were very cautious of who they let near their nests. I know when I first started doing weekly nest checks within my colony, they were darting at me like a kamikaze pilot. They were only doing whats natural, defending the home, just as you would do to a burglar breaking into your house.

Why is a purple Martin called a purple Martin?
Purple martins were initially though to be closely related to European House Martins due to their forked tail, but they are only distantly related, is one though. Another theory is that they were named after the Roman god of war "Mars" and the "tin" or "ten" is a pet name...so basically "little mars" either due to their tenacity in chasing off predators or perhaps as Mars refers to the first month of the calendar, when the first martins start to return. The Purple part is a misnomer since they are really a deep blue-not purple.
