Three Purple Martins perched on the empty frames while waiting for the nest boxes to be installed.
Volunteers install groups of gourd style nest boxes on two poles for a Purple Martin colony that returns each year to the main parking area on the Parking River National Wildlife Refuge. These “early birds” arrived a few days before the boxes went up. They seemed to be expecting to find their summer homes and were a bit confused.
