MARTINS
The
Purple Martincam was an idea that was pursued and made
possible by a number of key individuals who are devoted
to purple martin recovery and in the Pacific Northwest.
They felt that a nestbox cam might be a successful way
to share their interest and information about this fascinating
swallow with the general public and other scientists.
Update January 2009
We hope to have the Purple martin cam live this year and dedicated to Kevin Li and individual who devoted much of his life to the study and recovery of Purple Martin populations in Western Washington.
 Our
WildWatchCam project location is somewhat remote so a
direct-feed to the Internet is not possible at this time,
but we are able to bring you short scenes of the nesting
life of the western purple martin. Our video scenes and
still photographs will be updated as the nest season progresses.
Enjoy the scenes and information links and pay special
attention to the section entitled Things
You Can Do to Help Purple Martins. This particular
species seems very dependent on the use of artificial
nest structures.
We
express special appreciation to the following individuals:
Tim Brown, Doug Canning, Kevin Li, Daniel Hull and Michelle
Tirhi.
