Purple Martin Magic
Presented by Richard Nikolai, Wildlife Biologist WDNR
Mr. Richard Nikolai, a well known Purple Martin expert, will present a
program for Wisconsin Metro Audubon. He has worked for the Wisconsin DNR for
34 years. During this time he has accumulated numerous awards of distinction
including being named the 2001 Ducks Unlimited Conservationist of the Year and
2007 Wildlife Biologist of the Year for the State of Wisconsin. Mr. Nikolai
was one of the founding members of the Bluebird Restoration Society of
Wisconsin having served both as a board member (1986-90) and President
(1989-90).
Mr. Nikolai holds a Wisconsin Master bird-banding license and has used this
technique to study differences between rural and urban populations of martins.
His Purple Martin research, ongoing since 1982, has focused on site fidelity,
cavity fidelity, longevity, pair fidelity, reproduction, and types of housing
success. Learn how to increase your chances of attracting these delightful
songbirds.
Join us before the program at 6:30 p.m. for a Nature Discovery Walk along a few
of Wehr's beautiful trails.
