They have many predators, one of them being the HAWK, it is one of the few that can actually out fly a Purple Martin. I've seen a few duels in the sky end in victory for the Hawk. I don't see how in the world the Hawk can match his every move as they change direction ever so frequently.

The only other predators it has would be animals such as Raccoons, Possums, and Starlings which affect the young mostly. Raccoons and Possums will eat the eggs as well as the defenseless young. I've seen Starling take over an active Martin nest and throw the eggs out the entrance endings any hopes it had.

I'm sure there are others depending on which region they reside but that's all I can think of right now.
