Actually in the tropics it is know and has been researched that butterflies
follow the feeding flocks of birds for the hard to get mineral content of
their droppings. It follows that it may be the same here. It is one circus
when these flocks find and follow a movement of army ants; you're surrounded
by activity with 25+ species of birds, hundreds of butterflies, insects and
small animals running for their lives and you in the middle trying not to
step on one of the hundreds of threads of ants swarming all around
you.......... It don't get much better. You can't hear yourself
phish..........
Good Birding!!!
