Stoll's Purple Martin Book

Victor Stoll has been housing and studying Purple Martins since his childhood. He has maintained the largest known colony of Purple Martins in North America!

Purple Martins are not only stunning and fascinating birds, but they play a crucial role in keeping the population of high-flying insects at bay. Leaning on Victor Stoll's lifetime of experience as a Purple Martin landlord, you'll learn everything you need to know to attract and maintain colonies of your own.

Furnishing safe and inviting man-made Purple Martin Houses is necessary to keep this near-endangered species coming back each spring. Stoll educates both experienced and new landlords on available types of housing, placement of gourds or multi-compartment units, and how to care for these guests and their nests. Stoll's Purple Martin Book is an indispensable handbook that is written in simple, family-friendly language, and it's filled with crisp four-color photos, making it easy to identify the birds, their ideal habitats, and their predators.

This book is a must for every birder's library, and it's an enjoyable read for anyone interested in nature and the amazing habits of birds.
