To the earlier post about Purple Martin roosts in Ohio, I recall seeing an article in the Akron Beacon Journal about this time last year about the staging of Martins at Nimisila Reservoir in Summit County. I checked on eBird, and there are records of several hundred to several thousand birds from late August and early September. Hope this helps.
