		Three races (subspecies) are recognized: Progne subis subis breeding in eastern North America and eastern Mexico; Progne subis hesperia breeding in the deserts of Arizona, western Mexico, and Baja California; and Progne subis arboricola breeding along the Pacific coast of the United States and Canada, and in the Rocky Mountains.
		Purple Martins spend the non-breeding season mostly in Brazil, then migrate to North America to nest.

	Purple Martins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In the Pacific Northwest can be found the progne subis arboricola.
		These birds once used the natural cavities in trees in which to nest in the wild, but are now beginning to use individual nesting boxes placed on poles by man. The transition is slow, but little by little, this species is beginning to seek these boxes out at nesting time.
		In the Desert Southwest, progne subis hesperia still uses natural nesting sites such as holes in cacti.

		Today, the Progne Transport IV successfully touched down at Columbia International spaceport, carrying Dr. Paulo Hirundi from South America, to the Purple Martin Propogation League (PMPL) headquarters on the banks of Lake Murray along with 100,000 of the Purple Martins (Progne subis) that will be bred throughout the region this year.
		The Progne Transport Program (PTP), was introduced in the early 2100s, in an attempt to reduce martin mortality during their long migration.
		Besides protecting the birds from bad weather, PTP also eliminates the need for large premigratory roosts, which were increasingly becoming problematic in North American urban centers, and along transportation corridors.
