SUMMARY:November Meeting: Meet the Purple Martins of Mayville Elementary School
DESCRIPTION:Join The Horicon Marsh Bird Club on Thursday\, November 20th\, 2025 at 6:30pm at the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center for a program featuring Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Educator\, Liz Herzmann. The meeting is open to the public and is held at the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center located at N7725 Highway 28\, Horicon\, WI. \nLiz Herzmann has been partnering with the Mayville Elementary School for a number of years by providing on-site environmental education utilizing their school prairie and nearby Ziegler Park.  After the loss of a bat box due to weathering\, Liz suggested placing a Purple Martin Nesting structure as it fit the habitat needed.  Purple Martins are the largest bird in the swallow family and are amazing acrobats in the air.  They eat countless flying insects\, a favorite being dragonflies\, and even drink water by scooping it up in flight!  They are a colony nesting bird\, which means they love nesting in groups in hollowed out cavities.  Now nearly all Purple Martin colonies east of the Rocky Mountains rely solely on human made structures. \nThis presentation will take you through the journey of local 4th grade students and how persistence can pay off!  A big thank you goes to the Horicon Marsh Bird Club who donated funds for some of the fun accessories needed to help this project along the way.  We hope you join us as we highlight how the Horicon Marsh Bird Club works with our local communities. \nLiz Herzmann is the Wildlife Educator for the Department of Natural Resources at the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center and has worked there since 2009. She is responsible for the educational programming and special events held at the Education Center. These programs allow people of all ages to experience the wildlife and natural resources of Horicon Marsh. Previous to working at the Education Center\, Liz worked for Northern Illinois University teaching outdoor education at a field campus to 4th-8th grade students. \nFor questions or more information contact Liz Herzmann at 920-210-9054 or elizabeth.herzmann@wisconsin.gov. \n
