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.
