You're becoming quite the bird twitcher Bruce! Some UK friends of ours described breaking the ice in the bird bath one cold winter and then 'the silly things all came and had a bath!' Evidently the need to drink and bathe defies any sense of cold for them.
You are having such luck with standing water. I have the solar lily pad in mine for moving water in the bird bath and that has helped. Of course, mine isn't heated like yours!

ReplyDeleteMine hasn't been heated for months since I broke the light bulb by accident.

ReplyDeleteI don't know much about birds but I enjoy seeing your feathery guests.
ReplyDeleteWe love watching our bird bath too - they're so entertaining! Especially those occasional squirrel birds :)
