Greetings Tweeters,

I am interested in putting up some new Purple Martin gourds on some old
pilings on Elliott Bay at the Seacrest Marina in West Seattle. This would
be part of our effort to certify the area as Backyard Wildlife Habitat by
the National Wildlife Federation. I think this location would have a good
chance of being occupied by martins due to the close proximity to the
existing nests at Jack Block Park. Can anyone please provide me with a good
contact person for hanging and maintaining nesting gourds?

Thanks,

Kara
