In this episode Oklahoma native Anita Harp speaks about the habits of and maintaining a very large colony for Oklahoma Purple Martins. It is a very involved and labor-intensive process! But, in the end, she has helped thousands of Purple Martins raise the next generation.

Additional comments from Anita: "[Those that want to start a colony] can also go to Tractor Supply and Atwoods and purchase less expensive housing but tell them to stay away from Heath products. They are not very well made and Martins don’t do well in this brand of houses or gourds." 

Thank you Anita!!!
