[Tweeters] Skagit County, Clear Lake, Purple Martins

[Jim Betz via Tweeters]

Stan/Lynn,

   Purple Martins are usually "colony nesters".  It would be great if 
someone
would put up a couple of "Martin Condos" at Clear Lake - perhaps even
mounting them very near where you saw them at that piling?

   There are several Martin Condos at Reifel (and occupied as of this week).
They are sitting on poles that are simply stuck into the marsh and are
less than 6" in diameter.

   There is also a colony of Martins at Ship (WSF terminal in Anacortes) 
with
10+ condos.

   I've seen what -might- have been Martins at Wylie but I can not confirm
those sighting.

   I don't know where the Martins are at Bayview.  ???
