Roost in OKC

I and some friends went to 6th & Robinson on Saturday and the martins weren't there. Sam do you or Louise know where they have gone?
I went 2 weeks ago and they were there. Has something happened?

They moved - Juliette Hulen, who did so much to promote & protect the roost last year, shared new location info on facebook: If you want to see an amazing Purple Martin roost head downtown to SW 2nd and Robinson, just west of the Chesapeake arena at dusk. There are thousands of birds roosting there!

Louise,
Thanks so much for the info. I and my friends were so disappointed when they weren't there. I will be going in the next few days. Once again thanks so much.

I have been busy lately. I will try to go down tonight and check it out.

They're in trees in the median of Ron Norick Boulevard directly west of the Chesapeake Energy Arena. I have some video I'll post a little later.
