Purple Martin Cruise
One of the bird species we fledge here on the farm are Purple Martins. They are beneficial birds that eat insects 150-500 feet off the ground and even get their water during flight by skimming the surface of ponds.
Did you know Purple Martins migrate to South America? One of the largest migratory roosts is right here in the heart of South Jersey and in August we attended @cu_mauriceriver Purple Martin Spectacular Cruise to experience it.
CU Maurice River is an organization that is committed to protecting the natural resources of the Maurice River, which was deemed a Wild and Scenic River in 1993 and is part of the National Park Service. They offer Naturalist guided walks, paddles and presentations to promote stewardship.
We boarded the ship, Bonanzaz II, and headed up river to find the birds. Hundreds of thousands of Purple Martins congregate in the reeds of the Maurice River in mid August to eat, socialize, and rest before making their long trek to South America.

    • @copperknollfarms
      @copperknollfarms 3 місяці тому

      We have a video about that coming up! If you want to harvest for bouquets for fresh or dried it’s best to cut them when 1/3 of the flowers are open on each stem. This will help keep the buds intact if you decide to dry them.

    If you want to keep checking you should put a camera in there if you can because it is illegal to harm harass them or interfere with the nesting process

      @copperknollfarms 4 місяці тому

      Thanks for the comment but we are trained and under supervision of the NJ Bluebird Society. Quickly checking boxes as part of actively monitoring of a bluebird trail is not harmful or harassing them. Also, The Migratory Bird Treaty Act protects the removal of active *native* birds nests and eggs. We are simply recording data from our trail and reporting it to NJBBS for research purposes.
