Roost in Winchester Ky 2025

For anyone in or near central Kentucky, this roost is still going strong on radar. The birds are roosting in a 7-acre woodlot adjacent to the Walgreens in Winchester. The Walgreens address is 2045 Bypass Road, Winchester, KY 40391. I visited on August 16. Upon arriving around 7:50 pm there were a few martins visible in the sky but by 8:00 pm there were martins everywhere. Numbers continued to build and the birds started swirling over the woodlot. Small groups began diving into the trees off of the bottom of the vertical tower of circling martins. The last group disappeared into the trees at 8:45 pm.
