The work of ants
We noticed a number of these beautifully round mounds of crumbled sand and rock, when we explored Horseshoe Canyon in the Badlands north east of Calgary, mid-June. I don't know what kind of Ant made these tiny holes and mounds, but they were so round and perfect. This one was maybe a couple of inches in diameter.
Got home about an hour ago, after a lovely (though a little too warm for me) day botanizing part of the beautiful land belonging to Angela Cumberland and Patrick Brennan. This lies to the north west of the city and was a mix of forest, open meadows and a "bog". This family very generously supplied a delicious Chili and salad lunch for us, too! What an absolute treat - and many thanks from all of us!! Hope you will find the eventual list of flora and fauna observed today interesting and useful : ) Thanks so much for allowing us to explore your property!
Oh, and on the way home, we stopped in Cochrane for one of their famous ice-creams ; )
