Our two birdbaths, the blue one and the metal one down below that we put there to keep the neighborhood cats from drinking out of the blue one and tipping it over, are especially popular right after we have filled them with fresh water.
Of late we have been discovered by some common sparrows.
SWMBO tells me they come in flocks.
And the little flockers dominate the baths when they arrive, whether to bathe or to drink.
I would prefer that we could have a more colorful bird but I guess the sparrows need a cooling drink or bath too.
Meantime, high in a neighboring tree, a different bird . . . a Phoebe perhaps . . . maintains a lookout.
