In response to a couple of posts.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 tothe 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.George
