Every calendar quarter the Update contains a compilation of the latest scientific articles on martins written by leading ornithologists, as well as the latest findings from ongoing research at the PMCA's study site where more than 100 pairs of martins nest. Additionally, readers benefit from information, suggestions, and photos supplied by successful martin landlords living all over the North American continent.

The Update is the only publication that covers Purple Martins exclusively, scientifically, and in color. Its easy-reading style will help you manage your colony better. If you are trying to establish a colony, suggestions in the Update can save you years of time and hundreds of dollars in wasted effort and purchases.

Each 32-page issue of the Purple Martin Update contains between 10 and 15 articles, in addition to regular features, such as "The Doctor's House Calls" and "Landlord Letters." The selections at right offer valuable information about managing your Purple Martin colony, but only offer a glimpse into the wealth of information provided in each issue of the Update. Full back-issues are available.
