Description


When I took this the ants had several hills along a crack in the concrete. About 15 minutes later the robins flew in and had a fine dinner...that was about a week ago, today there are no ant hills and no red ants to be seen! Those robins made an excellent cleanup crew! I am behind on comments as I had to go to the doctor yesterday and then went to spend time with my friend whose brother passed away on Sunday. I found it strange that last rites were given nearly a month ago, prolonging the pain for the family. Will try to catch up today! Thanks for looking and for previous comments.

Amazing story. To the ants, those robins are like those folks with the demolition diggers in a way.
