At Melton Hill Park in west Knox County this morning I watched Purple Martins
feeding fledglings in a tree just down from the fishing pier. This is very
close to where martins tried to nest in a broken light fixture last June.
There is no broken light fixture now but they must have found somewhere nearby
to nest. I counted at least 9 martins including at least 3 fledglings. There
was one large juvenile Osprey still in the nest on a channel marker on the
other side of the park and a flock of around 40 Double Crested Cormorants.
