[va-richmond-general] Purple Martins downtown

I know several people have already said this, but if you live anywhere near
Richmond and have not yet been downtown to see the the masses of purple
martins descending into the trees to roost for the night, you really should
go.  I finally made it last night and it was an incredible spectacle.  No
peregrine falcon showed up, but the red-tailed hawk was there and we saw him
consume two birds.

Here is a link to pictures for anyone interested:
