If you live in the Austin, Texas area and have never seen a roost you will really enjoy the experience. I thought it was awesome to see 1000's of Martins up in the air and then make a dive on a set of 7 oaks. Between Dillards and closer to Foleys on 7 oaks near a main entrance facing South. This was last Wed., 7/20.

The martins like Foleys, the Houston Shargstown Mall roost is in the Foleys parking area!
