[Tweeters] Purple Martins

[Jim Betz via Tweeters]

Hi,

   Is there a group dedicated to the Purple Martins?  Compiling - and 
making available - stuff

like nest colonies, probable numbers, creating new colonies (putting up 
nest boxes), etc.

If you know of a group please post a link or provide the official name.  
THANKS!


   There is a large - well established and active - nest colony at Ship 
Harbor (where the

WS Ferry Terminal is in Anacortes).  It's been there for several years 
and has been

occupied every year since I've been going there (over 5).

   The best way to get there is to go to the "Ship Harbor Interpretive 
Center" where

there is parking, a porta potty, and a developed trail.  This location 
is also one end of

the Guemes Channel Trail which is a re-purposing of the very old Great 
Northern

Railway right of way.

                                 - Jim
