They donated the items to Somebody's Place. The Scouts worked about four hours on Saturday to pick up and deliver the items. Right: Keaton Johnson and Gavin Eager laugh as they pick up sacks of non-perishable items from a house in Peters- burg. They were two of several Petersburg Boy Scouts who went door to door through town to col- lect the items to give to Somebody's Place. Purple martins spotted in southern Indiana In a sure sign that spring is not far behind, the first Purple Martins of the year have been spotted in the Hoo- sier state. The birds were seen on March 2 in the southern Indiana town of Fer- dinand by a Purple Martin enthusi- ast—one of many people throughout the eastern and central United States who track and report on the birds' an- nual migration on behalf of the Pur- ple Martin Conservation Association. "The Purple Martins arrival in Indi- ana show the birds are making steady progress northward since they first made landfall in Florida four days af- ter Christmas," said Joe Siegrist, pres- ident of the Purple Martin Conserva- tion Association. "Tracking the migra- tion is not only fun, it also provides us with valuable information that helps in- form our research and strengthen our efforts to make sure we're doing every- thing possible to sustain the popula- tion of these amazing birds." North America's largest species of swallow, Purple Martins winter in the rainforests of Brazil before making up to a 7000 -mile migration north into the eastern United States and Canada. The annual migration is a testa- ment the martins' resilience as well as the unwavering dedication of thou- sands of 'martin landlords' who main- tain multi-compartment nest 'condos' that are essential for the birds' surviv- al. Once widespread in rural Ameri- ca, this species, that eats billions of flying insects annually, has been dis- appearing at an alarming rate, expe- riencing a loss of one-third of its pop- ulation over the last 50 years. "The decline seems to be the com- bination of a few factors: nesting hab- itat loss, competing invasive species, decreasing prey availability, and cli- mate change," said Siegrist. "Over the majority of the Purple Martins' range, they are unable to nest naturally any longer. Human-provided nest boxes are the only thing keeping the species alive east of the Rocky Mountains." Siegrist says the very survival of the species is due in large part to scores of dedicated conservationists who invest their time, money and hearts into maintaining housing for the martins. "The landlords provide critical shelter for the martins," Siegrist said. "In return, they are rewarded with a family-like bond with the birds who return to the same colony year after year like clockwork."
