[va-richmond-general] WEVI nest destroyed

I forgot to mention yesterday that when I swung by there on the way home
from 42nd St. the nest was torn open on the ground with some mature bird
feathers scattered around near it.  I suppose a predator took it at night
and was able to snatch the incubating adult.  I could hear one
singing-perhaps to attract a new mate?  On an upbeat note, there may be nest
construction by Acadians nearby (and higher off the ground!).  Take care.
