Subject: Re: [Va-bird] Release site needed for Purple Martins in
Chesapeake,VA area
The Richmond roost area is in Shockoe Bottom area adjacent to the 17th
Street Farmers' Market. There is also a roost at the west end of the old
bridge from Manteo to Manns Harbor near Nags Head, NC. Being in Chesapeake
you are about equidistant from both of those places.

Hi List,the
I have 9 purple martins we've rehabilitated that are nearly ready for
release. I'm looking for an active colony/roost to release them into in
Chesapeake, VA area. I also need to know what times the birds are
around/actively flying.
As a backup, I would also like to know specifically where the large roost
is that has been mentioned in recent posts in the Richmond area.
Please fee free to contact me off-list with any info.
Thanks!
