Martin Colony History: 2013-2016 Unsuccessful at starting a PM colony. Health problems.

Went up for granddaughter's 1st BD party to this really nice park. It is huge, has a nice lake, picnic areas, and paved hiking trails... AND a nice BIG Purple Martin colony! Fun to watch and listen to their antics. Somebody is doing a very good job maintaining this colony. And the lake has Boxes for TRES all around. Lots of TRES, and many other wild species. The moms and babies in backpacks "Hike it Baby" were fun to visit with, and my daughter said ask any nature questions to Mom, hehe. It was a fun day at a very nice and natural park.
