Click here for a small film clip of the Stoll's Martin colony. This was taken at dusk when Victors birds were starting to come in for the evening. Even this small movie can't do this colony justice. You have to see this for yourself.
You must have a "up-to-date" media player, active on your computer for this video to be viewed. I recommend Windows Media Player to view this clip, if you do not already have a media player installed on your computer.
Remember to turn up your sound... Enjoy!!
