Hi Nancy & All, Aug 1, 2013
I rarely hear birds because my hearing is damaged but when ants swarm
and then rain into trees I hear the clamor clearly; birds follow the ant
showers.
I wonder if the sudden silence reflects ants swarming elsewhere ?
Two ant nests in the yard that I checked yesterday seemed deserted. One
that I checked this morning has many winged ants.
