Camp David Pecans - Purple Martin Fledgling Flight School 6/8/22

Look closely to the center left of the pecan tree and you will see a cluster of Purple Martin Fledglings "hiding" and resting on fledgling day. The parents will now begin to teach them the survival skill of getting their own insects by catching one and then dropping it for the hungry fledglings to retrieve. Purple Martins are flight feeders so the only way they know to get food is while flying.
