Purple Martins in Lakeshore State Park?

We'll see. Today Bill Holton, park boss Tom Kroeger and I prepared the hole, and poured concrete for the base for the next martin house in this new, urban state park. More news as the next steps unfold. Want to help? Give me a call at 414-698-9108, or e-mail me at iltlawas@earthlink.net

PUMA nestboxes in Milw Co in the weeks ahead

We've been collecting used and like-new housing for Purple Martins, and we've helped to install one martin house and gourd setup (see previous post). In the weeks ahead, we'll need help with other similar installations. If you can help with refurbishing existing houses that we've collected, or help with putting up housing in Milwaukee County parks, please contact me to volunteer.
