Bitten by Red Ants


While spending much effort on a soaring eagle, I landed on one fire ant nest. But I told myself this is the best eagle picture I have ever captured.


"Human always stomp their feet when they are happy." A zebra dove coo-cooed a comment. 


"Oh no, there is too much insanity in the dance." A black-naped Oriole exclaimed.


Whatever it is, me and the birds were mutually entertained.

As what we can find in Your Sunday Best.

  4. Red Ants...NO good, especially if you are sitting on their mounded nest...or standing on it...or even close.

    But a "professional" blogger has nothing to do but trudge ahead with the task at hand.

    Nice shots, and commentary, as usual, Man. Thanks!

  5. I am with the black-naped Oriole about "too much insanity in the dance"! Not just yours, as I don't see you dance, but in general.

    Fantastic capture of the eagle!

  6. Rainfield, I am sure the birds were amused with you doing the fire ant dance. I love your birds and the photos. Great captures.

  7. I'm amazed at the wonderful pictures you got while stomping your feet after landing in the fire ant nest. I guess one reason you get such great pictures is that you entertain the critters as well as talk with them.

  8. Were you stomping because you were happy or because the ants were biting? I think the birds saw a good dancing show.

  9. I don't think I could tolerate fire ants. I live in the north for many reasons. But it is a nice eagle picture.

    Hope that photo and the bird entertainment outweighed
    the bites from the fire ants!

  11. Mam nadzieję, że bardzo nie cierpiałeś po ukąszeniu mrówek. Chyba nie, bo zrobiłeś wspaniale zdjęcie orła.Pozdrawiam.
    I hope that does not really suffered ant bites. Probably not, because I've done a great picture of an eagle. Yours.

  27. I like your photo of a soaring eagle very much. An eagle that is spreading its big wings is reaaly powerful, and have lots of punch.
    Your ability of comunicate with nature or animal life is very fantastic,I think.
    I enjoyed your photoes and words a lot.
