Purple Martin Scout Report

Is your Purple Martin Birdhouse new?

If you have never had Purple Martins in your yard before, Scouts are not likely to be the ones that will move into your yard. Purple Martin Scouts are the first Martins to arrive in an area BUT they head straight for the same place they called home last year.

A brand new Purple Martin bird house needs to attract Purple Martins that were born last year. These Martins start arriving 3-4 weeks AFTER the Scouts.

My Scout Report tells you when last year's Purple Martins have been spotted. This is the best time to open the Purple Martin Birdhouse you just built!

It's the sub-adult Purple Martins who are the ones that will move into your new Purple Martin house!

As of March 21, 2009 - NEW Sightings of Sub-Adults in:

Alabama
Florida
Louisiana
Texas

(Look below for sightings of Scouts - the returning adult Purple Martins)

Returning Purple Martin Adults aren't the Purple Martins who will move into your new house, but now is a great time to build a house for those Purple Martins born last year (sub-adults) who will be looking for a home! Here are the reports of returning adults:

As of March 21, 2009: Scouts have been seen in:
Arizona, California, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Iowa, Maryland
