• The Purple Martin Society, NA is a specialized and unique group of birders whose goals are to preserve the Purple Martin species for future generations and to advance the interest and knowledge of Purple Martins to others.

How do we do this? We accomplish these goals by generous and honest mentoring and sharing our Purple Martin knowledge and experiences with others that show interest in this special bird.  As devotees of martins, the members of The Purple Martin Society are people who share a love for all birds and wildlife in general.
