Subject: [Tweeters] Purple Martin Request for Information

Greetings All,

I am looking for information on the nesting habits of Purple Martins. With Kevin Li?s passing, I no longer know who to contact about these birds and their habits. I am interested in learning if anyone has done studies on site preferences of their nest cavities. I would also be interested if anyone could point me in the direction of historic nesting info. I have heard that this species has not nested in natural cavities in a very long time, as Native peoples also provided gourds for them. I would like to see literature on this topic.

Thanks to all!
