The purple martins have arrived in Obion County.
Jimmy Neal, a resident of Union City’s Whispering Hills subdivision, contacted The Messenger early today to report he has four purple martins at his house. He said he put up his bird box around noon Monday and when he went out to check on it today there were four purple martins flying around his yard.
He said he has been the first in the county to report the early arrival of the purple martins for the past several years.
