“Mid dust bath, the hawk paused and allowed ants to swarm over it’s feathers, releasing their anty toxic formic acid, I believe but can’t prove, to drive parasites from the hawks plumage.” JoHanna Massey
In Response to: Linda Hill’s One Liner Wednesday.
Today’s Music: Daniel Barenboim: Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 5 in E Flat Major Op.73
I knew the song but am new to the video. There is also a 24 hour Happiness version that is fun to watch.
Thank you so very much for your visit. “Clap along if you feel like that is what you want to do.”

Or perhaps Hawks are the Uber of Antom, and I just happened to get a glimpse of their world.

One can only imagine the surprise felt by the suddenly airborne ants who remained behind when the hawk finished dusting himself off again and flew away.
