Purple Martin House at the Wetlands
OnlineA live look at a tall white Purple Martin house standing in the heart of a restored wetland meadow, framed by tall grasses and lush wooded slopes.

A Purple Martin Colony in a Restored Wetland
This camera watches over a multi-compartment martin house and its cluster of nesting gourds, the centerpiece of a community wetland built to replace marshland lost to roadway expansion. Purple Martins, North America's largest swallows, return here to raise their broods in a managed colony.
Wildlife of the Marsh
Beyond the martins, the surrounding meadow and open water host a rich cast of waterfowl, including geese, wood ducks and mallards, alongside great blue herons, green herons and a chorus of songbirds. Muskrats, raccoons and the occasional mink move through the reeds.
A Park for Education and Recreation
The wetland sits within a community park threaded by a winding hiking trail that passes woods, clearings and tributary streams. The feed is used by local schools as a living classroom, sharing the rhythms of the marsh with students and viewers alike.
