A friend who is not a birder, but enjoys seeing the Purple Martin roost site, has visited the site two night running, and tonight, Thursday, July 26, said there was shooting at the roost. He could not see the shooter or shooters nor knows about types of guns, but every time shots rang out the martins went up into the air. He called the non-emergency number, but did not see a response from the police. He plans to go tomorrow night and take some of the neighborhood children to see the roost.
