We were pleased that about 20 people braved a chilly morning to come to EBF today to enjoy the Purple Martins. We were grateful to have both Alisha Ritchie, our Research Coordinator, and Del McKinnon of the Purple Martin Conservancy (who has mentored us on our large colony) on hand to share their knowledge and experience with these beloved backyard birds.
The martins are departing earlier than usual this year, but we still have many pairs on the site for visitors to watch and enjoy. This event will also be held tomorrow and Monday mornings 9 AM - 10 AM. We hope you will join us for coffee, muffins and martin song! |
