This opaque, UV-protected gourd maintains ideal light and temperature conditions. Each Excluder Gourd comes with a heavy-duty porch, extending both in and out of the opening. Multiple starling-resistant entrance options are available for the safety of your colony! 🛒 Find this and so much more at the Martin Market Place®! www.purplemartin.org/shop #PurpleMartin #Featured

It’s not uncommon to have Purple Martins arrive at your colony site one day and seem gone the next. When martins first arrive, they will be spending lots of time in the air - exploring the area and eating lots of insects after that long trip from Brazil. They may not be perched on the house all day, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t planning to stick around. #purplemartins #birds #conservation | Purple Martin Conservation Association

You can watch thousands of Purple Martins form their pre-migratory roost at Presque Isle State Park tonight & every night for the next several weeks!!

So head out to Vista 1 at Presque Isle State Park around 8 PM and see the martins' roost! #purplemartins #birds #migration #roost #presqueislestatepark #conservation #eriepa | Purple Martin Conservation Association
