Sittin' in the late season, gray, colorless woods...  when all there is is crows, wood peckers, chickadees, nuthatches...  and all the deer seem to be in someone else's freezer...  a blue jay flying around looks pretty good.

Re: Bird baths
With all yer free time you should be able to keep it filled with warm water so it doesn't freeze!  :rotflmao:

Re: Bird baths
had cement ones for a long time but they would crack, so when the last one broke we got this metal one...  just sits out there year round and no issues...

Re: Bird baths
      I've got one of those cheap plastic baths. Filled the bottom with rocks and left over cement from a little project.  It works so well there was a cat sleeping in it this past weekend. I do not like cats.

Re: Bird baths
Ours is starting to get kinda scummy. Need to do same. For a while it was raining so frequently it was staying clean all by itself. The wrens really appreciated it and sang extra loud... :coffee:
