Does anyone know where the Okc roost is? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi Carol,
Louise posted this in June.
I'm guessing (not sure) the roost is still in the same place:
Louise Chambers wrote:The good folks at Aeroecology have picked up roost activity in OKC again this year, and since there have been problems when martins roosted at the Memorial (2012, I think), it would be very helpful in anyone in or near OKC would check on the roost from time to time.

One roost observer said as long as they stay on other side of Harvey (roost is in parking lot, across from the Memorial), they should be okay, but we ask landlords & others to help monitor, for the martins' well being.

Hi Matt

Thanks so much for the info. They moved last year but I will go check it out tonight and let everyone know what I find.
Thanks

Hi Carol,
A number of us will be at the roost tomorrow night (Sunday). The church across the street from the Memorial. Come out if you can..
