Has anyone been up to Presque Isle in northwest PA to see if there is a roost forming?
Thanks in advance for any updates.

Also attempting to restart another one in southwestern PA, in Collier Township's Hilltop Park. In 2017, not sure what happened but the ASY male returned and then a couple of weeks later he was gone. It could have been weather related. No other birds showed up. I had a starling nesting at the Public site that I had trouble getting rid of.
In 2018, we fledged 629 martins at all of the sites.

Hello Dave, good to hear from you. Wow, your sites are really doing well. Isn't it something how exciting this hobby is! Another year has gone so fast again. Looking forward to next year already.
