Hi all,
Just a brief report on the status of the Purple Martin colony at CT Audubon’s Milford Point Coastal Center.
At our last nest check on Friday, 6/27, we had 43 active nests, with a total of 129 eggs and 59 chicks. That’s about on par with last year’s excellent nesting season. Well, just today 4 eggs are hatching in gourd # 25. That gourd has a brand new video camera installed, so you can watch the tiny chicks and parents anytime at this link:
A few gourds are still available for “adoption”, which is how we raise money to fund this important monitoring project at one of the largest colonies in Connecticut. For more info, call Louise Crocco at The Coastal Center, 203-878-7440, ext 502.
