The Portage Lakes Purple Martin Association is an organization dedicated to helping the Purple Martins feed, breed, and interact with the environment to the best of their bird ability.

We’re happy to have them in Portage Lakes,  Ohio and do our best to make them feel welcome.

We have a number of activities and lectures throughout the year. Benefits for members include opportunities to help us educate the public about the Purple Martins of the Portage Lakes, what they do for us and how we encourage public enjoyment of these beautiful birds.
