"Purple Martins of the Amazon"

This month's Sperry-Galligar Audubon meeting at 7:00 P.M., Thursday, April 24, 2025, in Room 102, Yates Hall, 1702 S. Joplin St., Pittsburg, KS, will be presented by Bill Warnes. The Purple Martin is totally dependent on manmade housing when they migrate to North America from the Amazon rainforest to nest and raise their young.  K State Extension Master Naturalist and Purple Martin expert Bill Warnes of De Soto has been working with Johnson County to install Purple Martin housing in local parks. He will share best practices in Purple Martin housing and recently discovered information, (thanks to MOTUS - https://motus.org/) about their migration routes.  Free and open to the public.
