The two bird baths (one pedestal, one ground level) continue to do a land office business here. One need only peer through the kitchen windows a minute or two before a customer comes in. And the traffic includes a fairly wide variety of species. Everyone needs a cleaning or a drink, even if not both -- at least at my place. Although I am waiting to see if that changes. Cardinals, House Finches, and Chickadees are there a great deal. The only surprise has been the lack of need for the deicers: we've nearly reached the solstice and we've racked up all of eight nights when the temperature dropped below freezing. Well, no matter, January is on the way and that's usually a different story. And no ice will thwart the thirsty and dirty birds!
