WHO'S NEW?

We only moved about 9 miles, just across town, and downward a couple of hundred feet but we have a new bird visiting the old birdbath.


It's a mockingbird and he loves getting into the bath and cooling his feet while he takes a drink or two.

We still see some finches, maybe a warbler or two and, of course, those dopey doves and maybe even a pigeon.

When the weather gets hot, like it's been here for about a week, a fresh, cool birdbath is a very popular spot.

  1. Does your mockingbird sing at night? Ours goes almost 24 hours a day. I enjoy it. Lana not so much.

    1. I haven't heard him but when we lived in Phoenix back in the 70's we had one that used to sing all night during his mating season.

    2. We've got a mockingbird that sings in the evenings. My husband loves it, but sometimes I want to tell it to take a chill pill :)

  3. If I were a bird I'd want to cool my feet in your birdbath.

  5. They can also be pretty mean to cats, I've seen them dive bomb and force one under a car where he stayed for hours.

  6. The birds must love you for providing them with some heat relief!

  8. That birdbath is essential for them in that heat right now.
