Join Ken Wiersema and Dow Lambert for this 2-part program about nesting Purple Martins. Part I of this program will be a classroom orientation at the River Center, including background information on Purple Martin migration, nesting requirements and diet, as well as 25 years of local data on the Purple Martin’s progress in adapting to our human-made nesting cavities. 

Part 2 of the program will be a field trip of a quarter-mile walk along the tide flats adjacent to 3 Crabs Road. Dow and Ken will show you the nesting colony of the birds, look inside their nest boxes with an endoscope camera to count eggs or young birds, and observe the behavior of the adult bird feeding and defending their nests. This program is weather-dependent so be sure to check the website for updates.
