Purple Martins are back! They've moved in just in time for nesting season. Nesting boxes for Purple martins were installed in harbours and marinas on Vancouver Island when people realized that there were only a few pairs left. The problem came from the European starlings.

Keep the wild in wildlife. #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #photography #wildlife #WildlifePhotography #VancouverIslandWildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada
