Short-billed dowitcher digging n the mud. It is the only bird I know that digs for food in water with open eyes. Simply amazing!
Digger wasps look a lot meaner than they really are. Not saying they don't sting if provoked, but they're basically not interested in people. They sure do love milkweed, though!

Can you believe this ?
Well let me fill you in on the particulars
that pertain to this picture and event ;-0
I of course casually start to dig a short post hole.
Out of no-where The Monkey and Mama come
charging in, push me out of the way and like
two hooligan thugs take over. I was flabb-
ergasted. I'm a card carrying union man
and these two scabs are busting my
chops over a non-paying union job.
Soon he ran into a bunch of roots and
started growling while pulling on them.
Frustration took over and he lost all
interest in digging. So what is he
going to do next you ask ?
Easy deal ---
He pokes me then chases after Mama ;-)-
Just another small slice of our jungle life.
Alright here's something else to ponder on.
At times I go back and scan all my fav's.
Is true, and I'm proud of this hobby cuz
many of those photos still evoke strong
emotional feelings. Some of them crack
me up while others make me say, Wow !
And ya know what else ?
Sometimes I scan your fav's too ;-)-
Thank You.

Great Golden Digger Wasp (Sphex ichneumoneus) - Penny Lake Preserve, Boothbay Harbor, Maine
Great Golden (a.k.a. Big and scary!)
But very industrious so she didn't pay much attention to me,
so long as I kept outa her way!
Goldie's still hard at work, with 5 or 6 tunnels filled and still digging more!

took a trip out to an old airfield on the other side of the country which has become a graveyard for old diggers and trucks. i could see myself being there for hours on end without getting bored as there is so much there...

This species of Digger Bee (see Gerry's comment below) is common in my part of S Korea at this time of year. It makes a loud high-pitched buzz. This is the first time I've seen one with bright blue pollen. I love the huge eyes and the pointed proboscis which it levers through nearly 180 degrees to delve into the flower.

Digger the squirrel was searching through the snow in our backyard looking for something to eat with temperatures around -22C this afternoon.
Back in the late summer of 1989 we had a holiday near the tip of Cornwall. On the way home the traffic was horrendous and so we stopped off in Launceston and had a trip on the steam railway. At the far end of the line was this homemade contraption of a backactor mounted on a railway wheels.
