[va-richmond-general] Tonight in the Bottom (purple martins)

The family had a hankering for River City Diner's bacon/cheddar fries and
onion rings, so we went there about 9:30.  On the way home at 10:05 the
birds were completely quiet.  A brief check with a flashlight showed white
bellies and elicited a few twitters without any startle reaction.  If anyone
from the city reads this, it might be time to wash the sidewalk under those
6 trees where they concentrate. :-)  Did anyone try to count tonight?  Just
curious-will they increase by about a thousand a day or is it more uneven?
Goodnight!
