Join us for an afternoon learning about the fascinating purple martin—the largest North American bird in the swallow family.

In this lecture and Q&A, you’ll learn about Longwood’s very own purple martin colony, and how we have arranged and maintained our colony gourds to attract purple martins. Participants will leave with a pre-drilled gourd and instructions from instructor Joel Martin on how to hang and care for it at home.
