300,000 Purple Martins in the Amazon

This was one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had. I had the privilege of traveling in the Amazon with the Purple Martin Conservation Association and many top notch ornithologists to watch over 300,000 purple martins head north. Watch as we explore the Amazon, go bird-watching, catch and tag purple martins and have push up contests (spoiler: don't bet against a bird biologist!)
