Yes, thanks to Houston Audubon there will be watch parties at various roost locations, including Willowbrook Mall on July 25.

Thank you, Louise. The last time I visited the roost there a couple years ago it was on the Starbucks side of 1960 across from the mall. The Audubon gives a good description of location at Stafford but no specifics at Willowbrook. I"ll contact them to see exactly where they set up. Taking my 87 year old Mother whose in a wheelchair to watch them this Friday and want to go to the right area.

I noticed on radar about 6 AM to 6:15 AM that a huge roost appears after daylight near the Missouri City - Stafford area. It may be the same place that it was last year at the Fountains.
We get about 50 martins visiting our site every morning about 8:30, so I know that the roost nearby is active.
