Your picture reminded me of our pond and attracting birds. We looked out one day to see a beautful heron drinking from our pond. On further investigation, this beautiful bird had just feasted on 13 of our fish who had just survived their second winter!
Also saw a regal hawk as it was feasting on our rooster.
Many different ways to attract unusual birds!
Oh no! Well, it is a delicate balance. I would love to plant a real garden this year and I would have plenty of room, but having no more time than I do to tend it, I figure it would just attract all sorts of nuisance critters and generate more stress than I need to deal with. We also have a lot of water in the area, which, along with the moderate climate, makes it an attractive area for lots of birds.
