Purple Martins Back in Lewisville
On March 1, local spotters reported seeing the first Purple Martins making their annual return to Lewisville. These graceful migratory songbirds spend half of the year in the Southeastern United States and half in Brazil. Between 50,000 and 100,000 of the birds make their spring and summer home in Lewisville.
During March, April and May they will nest in manmade housing throughout the area (including houses at Herring Recreation Center and Lewisville City Hall) before moving to a common roost just off west Main Street to raise their young and prepare for their non-stop return flight across the Gulf of Mexico.
For more information on Purple Martins, or to view a brief video on becoming a Purple Martin Landlord, please visit www.cityoflewisville.com.
