Take part in this online event by Wild Bird Trust Of British Columbia to get familiar with Purple Martin birds who fly from Brazil to Tsleil-Waututh every year, arriving in the spring.

Around 110 nest boxes are mounted every spring upon the return of the Purple Martins at Maplewood Flats in North Vancouver.

The Conservation Area at Maplewood Flats is a bird and wildlife sanctuary operated by the Wild Bird Trust.

The Zoom event on Friday, March 26, will reveal how Purple Martins, the largest swallow in North America, are uniquely urbanized migratory birds closely tied to human presence.

This is a free event, but there will be an option to pay what you can to support Wild Bird Trust’s work and programs.
