Birders,
I was away from home a large part of the day and when I returned I looked out 
the den door to see what surprises there might be under the feeders.  Yesterday 
it was a skunk.  Today there were five birds-2 Robins, 2 Mourning Doves, and 1 
Blue Jay-lying on  ant hills letting the ants do their thing (with mites I 
suppose).  This lasted for some time.  I see this every summer in my yard  and 
am always amazed at how nature works and how smart birds are!
