The purpose of this project is to contribute to the collective knowledge of the Eastern US Purple Martin (Progne subis subis) by understanding site fidelity, dispersal population status, and migratory pathways for several colonies located in Alabama, Georgia and Florida, where there are major knowledge gaps. The Eastern Purple Martin almost entirely relies on artificially supplied, man-made housing to sustain the current populations. Purple Martin "landlords" are a crucial component of our study and to the continuation of Purple Martins in the Eastern US. We work alongside landlords at these study sites to add to their already on-going monitoring efforts of the species to further ask additional questions that need to be answered for better species management. Unfortunately, like many migratory bird species, Purple Martins are in decline. Our on-going studies on this species will help us to better understand why and to help the populations to hopefully rebound through both research and education on this species that now is reliant on human-management due to habitat loss and invasive species such as House Sparrows and European Starlings.
