Abstract:

The purple martin spends their breeding and nesting season in North Carolina and spend the winter in South America. After finding martin houses unattended, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences teamed up with the Wake Audubon Society to tend to the houses and move them to more desirable locations. The new locations also allow the public to observe the behavior of the purple martins.
