Re: (Fwd) Purple Martin Roost in Raleigh



Although not as threatening as Hitchcock's "The Birds," the Purple Martin 
roost reported by Tim Francis and Lena Gallitano is really cool.  The 
communication towers are on the western end of Western Blvd. near the 
intersection of Jones Franklin Road, and the roost is in the Plaza West 
Shopping Center which is on Jones Franklin Road.  The highway configuration 
is very confusing here, but that is the general location.  Last night the 
martins began to leave the towers at 8:15 p.m. and were settling down for the 
night in the shopping center by 8:30 p.m.
