Charlie, I think they are some variety of fire ant. The mounds are not
tall, and they are not very aggressive, but certainly resemble fire
ants. I have poisoned a mound, then have a new one appear 10 to 15 ft away.

Jim,
Do you have Fire Ants where you are in Tennessee or are those just
plain old Red Ants?

The Rhododendron barrier along the street is displaying more blooms.

While finding the best spot for photographing the Rhododendron, I stepped
on a large ant hill and disturbed its inhabitants.
