Isn’t the little hummingbird dear? That ball is a water fountain for the birds..I just discovered the site where I found this is now password only access.
I was going to try to get the original picture and resize it on my current imaging sites that don’t decrease the size..just the bytes..I loved the site the hummingbird came from and have some old favorites I have posted from this garden.I will miss browsing there.
I keep a clay or plastic saucer on the ground and put the sand color rocks in it for the sparrows and they absolutely love it. No other birds bother it. The reason I started that was one day there was some sort of container out there that had collected water and the sparrows were trying to bathe in it and it just wasn’t large enough. Little birds don’t go to the bigger bird bath, except I do see the yellow finches go to the bigger one. My sparrows love their private little bath!
