Ricki is working feverishly to complete the pond connector… a little creek like trench that combines the water flow from our two little ponds. This is creating bird heaven: The shallow water flow attracts feathered friends of all kinds and sizes, sometimes the whole family! It’s the best show in town and we have front row seats… right here on our porch. I have not been able to capture images of the bathing beauties, the porch screen is a real challenge for the digital camera and it’s only a few feet away

We watch in awe how the birds relax, splash, bathe and drink. Momma birds are bringing their brood, showing them how to feed, helping them find their way. Sometimes there are a dozen birds literally fighting for their turn in the waters. Dragon flies are now starting to appear as well, was wondering about those beauties.
