Purple Martin Roost

July 31, 2015 by glennkleinert

The Travis Audubon Society needs help at the Purple Martin roosting site at the Capital Plaza Shopping Center in Austin.  Each evening “hundreds of thousands” of Purple Martins swirl into their roosting site.  Volunteers are needed each morning, between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., to help retrieve injured Purple Martins at the roost site.  Injured birds are taken to Wildlife Rescue on East Martin Luther King Blvd.  Dead birds will also be collected.  The roost will be active into early September or until all the birds have departed for their migration to Brazil.  If you can assist, please contact Julia Balinsky at [email protected]
