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!
“I don't care if I was a ditch-digger at a dollar a day, I'd want to do my job better than the fellow next to me. I'd want to be the best at whatever I do.”
Branch Rickey
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!
On a high plateau overlooking the Columbia River, the Root Diggers symbolize the Indian tradition of harvesting wild carrots, camus, potatoes and bitter roots in the region.

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.

The episode Diggers airs on June 16 and will feature ''diggers, strange burrowers of all shapes and sizes, who have been crawling, puncturing, and biting their way through the earth for millions of years.''

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.
Diggers as night was falling on a recent walk home, the encoraching night making the warm glow of the light through the windows look even more inviting.
Something of an Edinburgh institution, it's actually called The Athletic Arms, but has been known as Diggers pretty much forever, legend has it because the grave diggers from the old boneyard opposite would go in there to slake their thirst after a hard day's work.
