Purple Martin Condo Tours

Join our staff and purple martin experts for an inside look into the purple martin condos on our site! We’ll lower the condos so you can see how they’re laid out inside and the stages of the nesting process. These tours will be first come, first served and have no cost. They will also be dependent on weather and the nesting process, so keep an eye on our social media for the most current updates for these tours.

Time: 1-2pm
Location: Ellis Nature Centre
Cost: Free
