Sunny and hot, high of 93.Every time I look at one of my birdbaths there's either a bird, squirrel, or chipmunk getting a drink of water. I seem to be the only source of fresh water for miles, or so it seems. This drought is really starting to take it's toll.
I know birds love fresh water, so I clean my birdbaths weekly and fill them daily. Just one more reason why Fodor's lists Mill Pond Hollow as one of the best values for the money as well as a "must see" ;-).
Our imported fountain from France is in FB#7, on the East side of the deck. The fountain is considered the "Evian" of all the drinking facilities and is used exclusively by the Goldfinches. They like to land on the top frog and get a drink straight from the "source".
Birdbath #1 is by the birdfeeders in the woods. This one is really popular with the squirrels, Bluejays, Mourning Doves, Nuthatches, and woodpeckers for quick drinks of water.
Birdbath #2 is in the FFB (Forest Flower Bed). This one is deep, perfect for Bluejay baths.
Birdbath #3 is in FB#3 in front of the living room bay window. This one gets a lot of sun which really heats the water, again I've caught Bluejays bathing in this one.
Birdbath #4 is in FB#5 which is by Don's office windows. This one is really popular with the chipmunks, Goldfinches, Chickadees and Titmice, because of the birch tree that gives it cover.
Birdbath #5 is in FB#1A, and is just big enough for chipmunks that live in the rockwall behind it.
