Gold Level- $200

For this level you get the mailed Adopt-a-Martin certificate, the custom engraved card  (both described above), and the annual updates if your bird is resighted! This best benefit of the level is you will be directly assisting our efforts in discovering more about the migration routes of Purple Martins! If you select this level, the money will go straight to buying one Geolocator device (the cost of one unit is $190 plus shipping). These devices allow us to track their migration! If the geolocator and the data on it is retrieved, you will receive a summary of what we learned about that bird's route!
