Purple Martin Scout Arrival


If you are interested in Purple Martins, it is time to be watching for the Scouts arrival. A great place to track the Purple Martin Scouts in your area is on the Purple Martin Society's website. They have lots of tips for placement of your Martin Houses. We have about 20 Gourd Martin Houses strung in the front of our property here at Rocky Mount and we get excited each year waiting for their return. I am adding a picture of the wagon wheel that we first started out with for our Martin Houses. We had a Martin Box on top and Gourd Martin Houses hanging below. You can see to the right side, we now have a cable with the Martin houses strung on it.

I have added a link to the right for the Purple Martin Conservation Society and the Purple Martin Society.

More about Purple Martins tomorrow,
The Gourd Lady of Rocky Mount
