[birdky] purple martins

For the past few weeks I've been seeing purple martins flying over my house in
the evenings. I decided this week to try finding their roost. Tonight I found
it! A 6-8 acre white pine plantation probably 15-20 yrs. old. There were
clouds of martins descending on the roost at dusk.
Question - where do these thousands of birds come from? Can they possibly all
come from Fayette County? Seems unlikely.
Unfortunately, I live in a new subdivision that is about 50% developed and this
pine plantation is soon to be destroyed for the development.
