Then I’m going to tell my Barnswallows they are falling down on the job! And
yes, mosquitos usually bite me around my ankles!

It is a "myth" that purple martins eat a lot of mosquitos. They catch their
prey high in the air whereas mosquitos stay pretty close to
the ground. Barn Swallows on the other hand probably are the best mosquito
eaters.
Our Purple Martins are seen most often feeding chicks with butterflies, moths
and dragon flies/damselflies.
