Though the birds (and the occasional cat) continued to visit the water site, the lack of foliage bothered SWMBO.
So we planted an artificial tree next to the bath.
Prescott Valley's frequent high winds soon began stripping he artificial leaves from the artificial tree.
So recently SWMBO began shopping for an arbor and she found one, bought it and it arrived a few days ago.
Yesterday evening, we "planted" it.
The boss topped it with some webbing and some of the leaves blown off that pitiful "tree".
And, like parents of the bride, we are pleased to announce that it was promptly visited by a house finch and a goldfinch.
This morning nearly as soon as I opened the window I spotted a bird at the top of the arbor surveying the scenery and shortly after another bird drinking down below.
I think Harbor Arbor is going to be a success.
