The Purple Martin is the largest of the swallow species in our region. They are aerial insectivores, catching insects in flight as their primary food source and rely almost exclusively on human-provided housing.

Join us to learn about the natural history of this fascinating bird species, their unique relationship with humans, and what you can do to help them recover from decades of decline. This program how we as individuals can reverse this trajectory and the practical aspects of becoming a Purple Martin landlord.

Kelly Applegate is Commissioner of Natural Resources for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. He identifies as the protector of natural and cultural resources for future generations, dedicating his efforts in recent years the restoration of Purple Martin populations in Minnesota.
