The DNR in Iowa does a super job in working with the organization. Awesome collaboration.

Re: Iowa renames to "Purple Martin Lake"
I had the real pleasure of helping Tim with the colony several times last season, and look forward to it this year if he’ll have me. It was an amazing opportunity to gain some experience if the day comes when I am allowed to host my own colony at home.

phldave,
Hang in there, I hope this is your magic year for martins. Will you be attending the Kalona, IA Annual Purple Martin Workshop / Seminar on March 21st ? If so, I will see you there. Gotta love our Amish friends and the Troyers for their great work at the event year after year.
