2024 –

Manage FILs colony & public park colony. Attempting to start a colony at a wildlife refuge.

~20 years of providing housing for Bluebirds, Carolina Wrens, House Wrens, Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, Great-Crested Flycatchers, Northern Flickers, & Prothonotary Warblers.

I am posting on behalf of a PMCA Facebook Group member who lives in NJ and would like to contact — or be contacted by — a couple of NJ residents who submit Scout Reports. Her brother was a longtime Purple Martin landlord who recently passed away and the housing is going to be removed. The two members she would like to contact are somewhat near to where her brother's colony is. Their names are Jim Macaluso and Tom & Mary Ann Millard. I looked through the Forum Members Directory and could not find them. If anyone knows them, please have them contact her. Her Facebook name is "Ro SD" and the following link provides an explanation and some contact info. Thank you.
