Last night about 20 people showed up for the roosting of the Purple Martins
at the Oldham Street Roost in East Nashville. Again the birds swarmed around
the ears of the Batman building, but by 7:30 the numbers had only slightly
grown. What birds were there put on a satisfying show for the spectators,
but I would estimate that about 80% of the martins had left for parts to our
south.

It will be interesting to see if the roost builds again, with remaining
northern birds starting their journey to Brazil.
