Does anyone know if this feather DNA tracking is being done on Purple Martins?

Martin Colony History: 2016, put Troyer pole with 6 units Horizontal with Conley 11 Tunnels.
Had some visits (two sittings) last year. A visit this year 2017.

Very cool stuff. Hopefully this research will help provide more Scientific Information on Purple Marin Migrational habits..
