ters, e-mail and calls from readers hosting martins and several interested in trying to attract martins to their yard. I find the most frequent, question to be, “Will I be able to attract martins in my area?”

Sometimes your site is exactly what the martins are looking for and other times it may be helpful to know where the nearest martin landlord is in your area.

If you are hosting Purple Martins and would like to help your martinless neighbor, you can report information about your site by writing or e-mailing your information to the addresses at the end of this article. You can be as detailed as you wish or just send the area you are in, type of housing and approximate number of birds.

Happy Birding!
