The radar I have used for years, to find roosts, has changed it's format. What radar has anyone found to best find the roosts? Thanks
Love the gurgles

I like the Weather Underground website:

You can only animate the last hour of radar so it is important to look for roosts between 6:30 and 7:00 in the morning.

Another website is from Plymouth State University

The PMCA has an instructional video on using radar to find roosts. I noticed it on the PMCA facebook page last summer but it may be available on the PMCA website now too.
