In the past 2 days I've found quite a few of my giant pumpkin leaves with holes through them but have not been able to find the culprit. Any thoughts on who and how to fix this before it get worse?

Do the holes have discoloration? Any high winds? Pictures?

two likely causes are cucumber beetles or birds landing on the leaves

I noticed rose chafers feeding on my squash plants leaving holes just the other night. First time for that.

sounds like bugs, Ksizzle cut the male flowers off (if you don't need them) and spray with some Bayer tree and Shrub to get rid of them, let us know if you find something else. I was pretty happy today finding a praying mantis on my plant this afternoon.
