R Lexington has been buzzing about a major manhunt that wrapped up this morning.

Yeah, started with a bank robbery down in Berea that turned deadly, then a high-speed chase up Interstate seventy-five.

Two people killed over what one commenter said was only seven hundred dollars. Suspect was caught near Bryan Station Road.

Someone made a good point about how rare bank robberies are these days. Most of the cash isn't even kept in branches anymore.

On a completely different note, birdwatchers are having a field day right now with spring migration.

Peak season apparently. Someone spotted a scarlet tanager, which I guess is pretty special around here.

Hold on, we've got someone calling in about this birdwatching thing.

So I heard the sound of one of those tanagers but never actually saw it. Spent the rest of the day staring super hard at every single cardinal I came across, trying to spot another one.

That's dedication right there.

Nothing like a rare bird sighting to turn you into a full detective.

That's what the neighborhood is talking about this morning. More local buzz coming up.
