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. Joe Swanson Lexington
