Eastern Purple Martin
Interview Audio Excerpt
See Full Interview TranscriptLaura Joseph, the Purple Martin Lady of Virginia Avenue, has hosted a big, 15-pole martin colony since the 1990s. Exotic English house sparrows compete with the native martins, so volunteers work hard to remove any sparrow eggs found in the martin nestboxes. These eggs offer a great nutrition source for the martins, as well as an educational opportunity for the kids who help at the colony site.
