Hi All,

My wife and I headed to Discovery Park this morning and had a wonderful time
in the sun. Birds were everywhere, but the most interesting action was
taking place in the South Meadow. It seems the sunshine had woken up the
ants, and the crows were taking full advantage of them. There were at least
50 crows hanging around in the trees and they were taking turns flying down,
getting the ants worked up and then eating them as well as bathing in them.
When the crows tired of this, robins moved in to feast on the exposed ants.
I posted a short piece with a couple photos on my blog here:

We walked the loop trail starting and ending in the south parking lot.
Along the way we saw activity everywhere. The list of what we saw is below,
and I?ll be posting photos of some of these sightings on
goatislandimages.com in the near future.
