Happened to notice a roost ring on radar awhile ago, so I toured area NWS radar 
sites looking for others. The distribution of Purple Martin roost rings is sort 
of odd. Predictably, though, I guess, they are most noticeable in western & 
southern KY. Did not see a thing at Louisville or Lexington. A roost east or 
southeast of Madisonville was very noticeable on all radars around it; it must 
be pretty large. Others noted included London, Williamsburg (or east of town), 
[both very noticeable only on the Jackson radar site], north of Hickman, and 
small traces of roosts along the Crittenden/Webster County line, and along the 
Butler/Ohio County line.
