All, I have resigned my position on the Board of the Purple Martin Conservation Association. There are great times ahead for the PMCA and I will be excited to watch all that unfold. They have a great team in place, including new Education and Research Research Manager, Joe Seigrist. He is going to do great things. Already doing great things. There are other new staff in place and, new with old, they are set! Please support the PMCA as I will, and lets all do great things for the Purple Martin!

Fantastic, Tim G.! Think of the impact of having at least one successful public colony in each community within their range!

Jim, thank you for serving on the Board, and for visiting our roost event last summer in your capacity as the PMCA representative. It means a lot to have that support from the PMCA, and I agree, we all need to be supportive of the PMCA and all it is doing to help these great birds. You are always welcome in Tulsa - come back whenever you can.

Atta boy, Anthony!

I was gonna suggest that everyone go to the PMCA store and make a donation. I did that day. Not a big one, but every little bit helps!

Thank you, Dick! We sure hope to!
