The martins are coming! The martins are coming! Learn all about it at our July meeting. Tim is a dedicated purple martin landlord who mentors many prospective landlords in central NJ. According to CU member Allen Jackson, Tim is a huge reason that NJ has such a great martin program. He recently participated in York University’s Geo Locator Project, utilizing martins from his colony on the Navesink River. His program will include the details and photos of his team deploying the geo locators on 33 martins in 2011, and the data that was recorded from 11 of them when they were recaptured in 2012. We will see their migration routes and learn much more! For more information contact Jane at Forrivers@aol.com.
