A Mouthful of Flies

We call them "Fish Flies" in Michigan, but this type is properly called Giant Mayfly (or Michigan Mayfly). The adults are short-lived (Ephemeroptera), and erupt from the water by the millions in late Spring to early Summer. Fish and birds must love this "banquet" time of year.

 

This Common Grackle seems to have found a tidy snack of "Fish Flies".
