During the March 9, 2009 Newport Rotary Club Program, Rotarian Dick Newton shared some information about Purple Martins. He showed us some of the different types of homes they enjoy coming home to each year, and mentioned they were the very nicest guests anyone could have. He tries to count them as well as the number of eggs they lay, and usually each year he gets more and more birds. They like to sleep in the gourds and houses at night and remain with their families until time to leave again.
If you have any questions about how to set up your gourd/house community for the Purple Martins, ask Dick. He's a pro with this project!
