- Martin Colony History: Start 2009 with one pair. Upgraded from S&K houses to two Trendsetter 12's with gourds beneath in 2013. I have experienced job, pet, and parental losses since '13. The Purple Martins lift my spirits and remind me how life continues forward by flying their little selves from Brazil back to my yard. As one forum person once told me, chin up DebA, look at the martins. Danger all around but yet they soar in the sky without a care in the world.
That's great! A perfect trip for everyone! Good thinking, Dad.

At Epcot, there is a cluster of martin housing very close to the butterfly house. At Disney Animal Kingdom, most or all of the martin housing is behind the scenes, not out in public areas. There is martin housing at many of the Disney golf courses, too.
Update 14(4) had an article by James Mejeur, the DAK staffer who is responsible for all the martins at Disney and Epcot - nice work by James and volunteers who manage the housing!

Here is the location of the ones I'm aware of at Epcot (there may be more?)
Hopefully this map comes up okay. (The housing location marked with the orange dot)

Here it is with a closer, Martin's-eye view

If you looks close, you can see the two, large gourd racks, and a Lonestar Goliad house.
Disney World is already so much fun, and to add Martins to that - awesome!
