Tea Break

Having a bird bath in your yard can make you into a very lazy birder, especially in the desert because the parade of birds that come for a drink seems almost endless.


Of course it is wonderful to provide an oasis of clean, refreshing water during the long hot days.


If you sit quietly the photo opportunities are very varied


And occasionally you get a big surprise!

The bath is almost too small for your last visitor. I like lazy bird watching.

Hey! I'm all for lazy birding:) We've been running around too much Kathie and I and we both need to take a break from birding but there is such a drive to spot them. It seems like every week there is a new challenge. Some we win; some we lose but it's always fun trying to find what's out there. But I will be taking a break soon just so I can do some of that lazy birding....and also enjoy the money spent on the bird seed to see those amazing birds we have here. You have excellent shots. Hope you have a great week. Chris

I was already surprised by the mockingbirds at your bird bath and then was totally stunned to see the big hawk! Beautiful birds, all grateful for the water.

Diane, the Mockingbirds start appearing at the beginning of November and are here all winter. They love the bird bath.
