Plastic trays. The white-crowned sparrows take over this area during Fall/Winter in this backyard. However the goldfinch, Audubon's warbler, house finch and other visitors passing through choose this area to water and bathe. |
Fuller view of water trays and 3 tier fountain (on the left). The shallow top tier is very popular with the smaller birds such as hummingbirds, warblers, goldfinch, Lincoln sparrow... |
3 Tier Fountain and water trays. The water trays are from Home Depot - they are trays that are sold to fit under plants. These also make good feed trays during summer, or anytime the weather is not wet. The fencing is for safety. |
Stone Fountain. Most birds use this fountain to drink and bathe - hummingbirds, dove, goldfinch, warblers, sparrows, etc. |
