A post on Facebook says there's a big roost at the Wal Mart in Carthage, Mo. Thousands and thousands -- not sure if that's a bunch or a whole bunch. Darryl Sparlin of Webb City, who posts here, confirmed as did others. Park at end of the Wal-Mart lot, and I guess look up.

I have gone to see this roosting sight twice now, and it is an enormous
amount of martins. They are roosting in an area just north of the walmart
there in Carthage, Mo. Very exciting to see.
