The Coastal Carolina Purple Martin Society

As Purple Martins return to the Mid-Atlantic region during their 2023 migration, the Coastal Carolina Purple Martin Society will monitor their arrival. We continue to maintain our nest house on the Manns Harbor, N.C., shore of the Umstead bridge. Follow our Facebook this spring to see news of families nesting there. If the martins return in July to roost in large numbers at the bridge, we will post information here and on Facebook. Keep in mind that we have not seen the historically large numbers since the summer of 2019. Thanks for your support.
