If you are interested in finding out when Purple Martins arrive in your Ontario area, you can track the Ontario Purple Martin Scout arrival dates for 2023, found on the Purple Martin Scout Arrival Study page by entering the province name. Purple Martins begin to arrive early in the southern United States before they move north to Ontario as early as December.
