[Maine-birds] Re: QUERY: Purple Martin colonies in northern and eastern Maine

Do you mean colonies using real cavity nests in trees or colonies using human-made houses?

On Saturday I visited a thriving example of the latter in Belgrade on Depot Rd. (I guess that's Kennebec County).

Does anyone know of any colonies using tree cavities still?

I'm interested in knowing whether martin colonies in northern, eastern, and western Maine are still active.  Previously known colonies include:

Aroostook County: Presque Isle, elsewhere

Penobscot County: Orono, Passadumkeag, Kenduskeag, Lincoln, Millinocket, Lee, Hudson,

Somerset: Palmyra, Corinth, Corinna, Dover-Foxcroft, Newport,

Washington County: Princeton, Machias, Schoodic Pond, elsewhere

Oxford County: Livermore, Turner,
I'm sure there are others that I've missed but basically I want to know if there are any extant colonies in these counties.

Thanks.

Best, Peter
