I thought I had seen voracious feeding before but this is something else. We had our first mayfly hatch on Lake Wisconsin(Southern Wisconsin) and the martins are really gobbling them up. It happens to coincde with the martins hatching out about a week ago. There is plenty on the dinner plate now and the bugs are all over the place for a few days.
If you want to take a look go here and install the ocx file(for camera control) it has sound also:http://thunderbirdbay.dyndns.org:8001/login
