Backyard bird watching

[FishermanTim]

Sure you can hate the ants, but you have to admire their intelligence being able to find food in so many unusual places. Now if the ant eating birds would do their part, you might not have a problem anymore.

I know how frustrating it is to set up your feeder(s) and find that the ants have spoiled the food and feeder even before the birds have found it.

Bluejays use carpenter ant oil to add oil to their feathers so it's more water repellent....
-what's even more frustrating is that the two hummingbirds left my Yard the very next day...

i'm guessing they were just passing thru.
