The Purple Martin is North America’s largest swallow. Every summer these acrobatic and colorful birds stage for their fall migration on the southern reaches of the Maurice River. For a few weeks they will gather in massive clouds – flocks as large as ten thousand birds or more – just before dusk and feed on insects.
This phenomenon is unique to the Bayshore region, and is something that every birder, naturalist or outdoors enthusiast should make a point to observe.
Annually, the local governments and a coalition of environmental organizations participates in the Purple Martin Migration Spectacular, one of the many birding celebrations held on the Bayshore each year.
