Absolutely love this! I didn’t know that you got any sun at all in your yard. I see you do! Those birds are very happy.
Did you and Tim install this birdbath? If so where did you get? I like the fountain and the flat stepping stones in it. Perhaps I would be able to have my “Lawn Ladies” set one up for me out my front porch window where there is a spigot already. Maybe a Fall/Winter project in my future.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this! The sunlight is dappled but what does get through is very bright. Tim ordered the Mademax Solar Bird Bath Fountain Pump online and we picked up the birdbath and stand for it at our local Wild Birds Unlimited store. The stones we found on one of our walks in the woods. They do need to be cleaned and Tim puts fresh water in it when the level gets low. If you do get it set up I’m sure the visiting birds and their antics will bring you hours of pleasure!
This is the cutest post Barbara! Those Bluebirds monopolizing the birdbath – no drinks, just baths and doesn’t that male look funny with the tufts of feathers sticking up. The female was just sitting pretty, but I feel sorry for the Chipping Sparrow as it looks dejected, while longing for a piece of the action. 🙂
Thank you, Linda! The male bluebird was definitely a character and his mate didn’t hang around too long watching him. Poor little sparrow had to be content getting wet from the splashes coming out of the birdbath. Hope it cooled her/him off a little. For all I know, she/he might have come back later for a bath when I wasn’t looking. 🙂
simply adorable, dear Barbara ♥
Thank you, Leelah! ♡
Male bluebird drying off on the deck railing! That’s the cutest darned bird photo I’ve seen lately.
Thank you, Ally! He was so much fun to watch and to photograph from behind the sliding glass doors.

Oh, those piggy bluebirds! 😉
They sure know how to monopolize resources! 😉
