Gotta love urban birding in Richmond!  We have cliff swallows, peregrines,
the occasional raven, migratory purple martin roosts, turkeys roosting in
Church Hill, owls nesting above busy roads...Life is good!

Janet Frye you stole my thunder, as too was planning to make this
announcement on the listserve. :>)   I was there today at the Belle Isle
foot bridge and marveled at the dozen or so jugs in each to two locations
attached to the overpass above the footbridge.  Many of these had an
occupant peeking out.  Other spring delights in the area were Baltimore
oriole and great-crested flycatcher.

Drove by there today on the way back from Mechanicsville and there are fresh
jugs with birds entering and exiting.  3 kids sleeping, so I'll go back
later to enjoy them.

Are they back this year?  Tried to go today to look, but there is a concert
or something down there and the incredibly rude police officer directing
traffic reminded me why I don't go there often.
