They are still coming south!

Have not seen a martin since the 5th of August until Friday the 2nd of Sept. This is by far the latest I have seen martins migrating south. Went down to get the newspaper that morning & seen 4 martins on the powerline by my driveway. They were still there when I came back. They did not move one inch even when I stopped to look. By the time I got to the gararge they flew off & made a few circles around my gourds before flying off for good. I live near Fairdale, WV about 12 miles southwest of Beckley. Has anyone this far north seen any lately??

I have two SY males that have visited and stayed the night in my T-14 for the about a week. I last saw them on Friday right before dark.
