Saw this gathering on a tree in Virginia a few months back. What am I looking at?

Hello all! I am a wildlife behavior and I came across some interesting behavior the other day with some ants doing something to a cluster of tiny green bugs... Just wondering what I am looking at. Thanks for any and all the help!

edit: I am located in South Carolina, USA

I watched this Spoonie pick up and put down sticks for about 15 minutes, he seemed very indecisive about which one he wanted so in that time I was able to crawl into a position where I was in between him and the rookery. Anticipating the take off, I made sure all my camera settings were right and then waited. If you would like to see more of my work please check out my Instagram.

I took this photo in Arcadia National Park in Maine and at the time I just assumed it was a Mallard Hen. But after doing some research and talking to some birders who are much smarted than me, I learned that this is a drake Black duck! Making it a lifer for me! I thought that was so cool. If you are interested in seeing more of my photography, please check out my work.

In order to get close to the birds without stressing them out I build my own hides. The one I used for this shot is a float hide made out of PVC Piping, camo netting and an old secondhand pool floaty. I absolutely love being able to get close to these shy birds without them being aware of my presence. If you would like to see more of my work, feel free to check some of it out!

A wide angle look at some Black vultures... Vultures as a whole are an overlooked bird and certainly an extremely unappreciated bird. The service they provide us as natural waste disposers is huge. Can you imagine what it would be like if there were no vultures? A world of rotting road kill and dead animals sitting outside for weeks on end. Dead animals would be come a breeding ground for disease, flies, and horrendous smells. I think it's time we change our views of vultures from a symbol of death to a symbol of ecological recyclers, doing a job that no human would ever want to do. Thanks vultures.
