[birdky] Purple Martin roost

I walked through the pine plantation where the martins had been roosting
yesterday (8/28) morning. The developer had cleared the trees for a couple of
streets, destroying approximately a third of the trees. Saw no martins. Since
I wasn't particularly early, I went back in the evening and saw only a few
flying over. This morning I went to the nearby pond and cornfield where others
had seen pm roosting. They were there. Seems like they adjusted quite well.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the cornfield around the pond will
be developed sooner rather than later.
