Transcript | The PURPLE MARTIN returns every spring to the Houston area to nest exclusively in manmade birdhouses placed for them by concerned citizens. The PURPLE MARTIN feeds almost entirely on flying insects and is an excellent means of natural insect control. The City of Houston encourages widespread interest in this most popular bird, the PURPLE MARTIN. Therefore, I, Robert C. Lanier, Mayor of the City of Houston, hereby proclaim the week of March 1 through March 7, 1993, as purple JWartm Stme in Houston, Texas and urge citizens to observe nature's return of spring and the PURPLE MARTIN. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and have caused the Official Seal of the City of Houston to be affixed this 25th day of February, 1993, A.D. /g-fffr f_£flu/WAi/>- Mayor of the City of Houston |
