Well written and the pictures are fine. I doubt that Oswald convinced anyone that he could climb that tree. Here I had a flock of game cross bantams that roosted in the white pine trees for years. Until, that is, the GHO found them.

Yes, it certainly was. I could not post samples of the before and after smell or I would have. That shed really was stinky when I began work!

Excellent observations, conclusions, and pictures. Ants and birds - I have seen birds dust/sunbathe in ant hills with wings outspread. Perhaps a combination of formic acid from the ants as well as parasite removal help to limit external parasites.

Thank you for reading and rating the article. From what I've read some ants will and some ants wont ;)
