We aren't the only ones that flock to the water in summer - the birds do too! By providing a source of water, you have the best chances of increasing the variety of beautiful summer birds visiting your yard. All birds need water even though they won't visit your seed, fruit or nectar.
Sandi and John were excited to see a Cape May Warbler visiting their bird bath. What a treat!
You can place dead tree branches in the ground next to your bath which will provide perches for the birds to view the bath (to make sure it's safe) and on which to groom themselves after bathing. There is nothing more exciting than seeing a family of Eastern Bluebirds or Cedar Waxwings having a pool party!
Birds are especially attracted to the sound of water - add a dripper/mister or rock waterfall to your birdbath and you will probably notice a lot more activity at the bath!
