These martins are roosting in a small cluster of about 4 trees at the Renfro 
Valley Music Village right off Rt 25.  I guesstimate something less than 5,000 
birds in the roost this evening (Aug. 19).  They put on a good show with 2 
separate layers of birds swirling above the huge parking area and buildings.  
Martins decorated the powerline by the hundreds that crosses the parking lot 
and many more sat on the roof of the largest building.  The powerline might be 
a good spot to look for banded birds with a spotting scope.  The last 
individual bird tucked into the trees at 8:45 pm.  I would recommend getting 
there about 8:00 pm to see the action.  To get there, take exit 62 on I-75.  If 
traveling south from Lexington, turn left onto Rt 25 at the end of the exit 
ramp and follow 25 under the interstate and around to the sign on the right 
with the words, "Renfro Valley Recreation Center and RV Park."  The cluster of 
trees near that sign and the little log cabins is the spot.
