> Seems really likely. I frequently have martins fly over, often so high up I can?t see them. I?m a half mile from Henderson Inlet where martins nest at the Woodard Bay Natural Resource Conservation Area and, probably, some other intertidal locations. They do cover a fair amount of territory around nesting sites.
