["Palmer-Ball, Brainard \(EPPC OOS KNPC\)" <Brainard.Palmer-Ball@xxxxxx>]

I have not thought to check radar sites for summer roost rings lately, but a 
number are now showing up well. These are visible on the National Weather 
Service web sites for individual cities (several cover Kentucky including 
Paducah; Evansville, IN; Louisville; Wilmington, OH; Jackson; Ft. Campbell, TN; 
etc.). Once on the NWS site for an individual city, click on the radar link 
then either the base or composite loop for reflectivity. You have to get on by 
about 7:30 EDT/6:30 CDT or the rings have broken up.
 
Here are some I noted this morning; most are in the same location as last fall. 
It would be neat to figure out what these birds are; probably most are already 
blackbirds/starlings, but some may be waders and/or purple martins. If anyone 
goes to check out any of these roosts in your local area, please let us know 
what you find!.
