SUMMARY:Purple Martins-via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mercedes Leofsky\, Research Manager\, Purple Martin Conservation Association (PMCA) \nJoin us and learn about the life\, migration\, and unique human-dependent nesting habits of the Purple Martin\, North America’s largest swallow. Did you know that the Purple Martin is the official bird for the Town of La Plata—Maryland’s FIRST Bird City? Purple Martins are special because they rely almost entirely on human-made housing to nest\, catch all their food and water while flying\, and migrate thousands of miles between North America and Brazil—and they are not purple! Mercedes will share more fascinating details and ways to ensure the future of this important insectivore. \nIf you are on our Osprey newsletter list\, you will receive the Zoom link via email to attend this event.
