Finally remembered to check the NWS radar this morning; so far there is
only one roost ring noticeable on the Louisville radar at dawn, that is
near the jct. of the Bluegrass Pkwy and I-65 at Elizabethtown. The large
roost down south of Wayne/Clinton counties in adjacent Tennessee is also
present again this year. These are assumed to be roosts of Purple
Martins because of the time of year.
They can be seen on NWS web site at:

loop=no
You have to then click on the Base Radar Loop and they are only in view
from about dawn to 8:00 a.m. EDT.
You can also move to other adjacent radar sites using the arrows above
the loop link. The Paducah site very nicely shows the huge roost down
the Mississippi River in Tennessee; I believe from past years this also
may involve large wading birds. If anyone identifies the exact location
of any of the roosts they see on radar in coming weeks, please let me
know.
