💜🐦 Purple Martins Are on Their Way! 🐦💜

Exciting news for bird lovers—Purple Martins are migrating north from South America and will begin nesting as early as late January! These beautiful, social birds travel in large flocks, feast on flying insects high in the sky, and prefer to nest high up in cavities.

Did you know?
✨ In the Eastern U.S., Purple Martins rely almost entirely on man-made martin houses, like the condominium-style homes pictured in our newsletter.
✨ In the Western U.S., they still nest naturally in abandoned woodpecker holes.
✨ The first martins to arrive are often older birds returning to familiar nesting areas.

Now is the perfect time to prepare your martin houses and welcome these incredible birds back for the season!
