There must be a roost just east, and a bit SE of Eagle Lake, it was very obvious this morning on radar. Does anyone know where its located? It also could be called NNW of Wharton Tx, but its closer to Eagle Lake.

Another roost can be seen SSE of Angleton, Tx

Emil, sure wish someone in the area could find the exact location of this roost near Angleton. Ill be staying at a beach house near San Luis Pass in a couple weeks with my grandkids and it would be wonderful to offer them the experience of a purple martin roost at sunset.
