Some of our favorite neighbors have wings. 🐦
Every summer, Purple Martins return to Glenn by the Bay to nest and raise their young. This year, the colony is thriving. Volunteers Lester Block and John Rokita counted 89 chicks across three gourd-tree nesting systems on a single visit!
What makes it extra special for us: Glenn by the Bay sits on land the Glenn family donated to the community, so watching it come alive like this means the world.
And none of it happens without Lester and John. These two have spent the last couple of years quietly caring for the colony, checking on the nests, keeping records, and making sure the birds have a safe place to come home to. Thank you both!
As Tim Glenn says: "Be safe, watch out for turtles, take care of nature, and enjoy your time with family and friends!"
