    The house finches seem to really enjoy the small birdbath and drink from it all of the time...

    The House finch likes to drink out of the ant moat that I use above the sugar water...I make sure I have it filled every day...

    My Orioles came back from nesting on Monday and I was able to get some photos of them...

    We don't have either species here so it's always so nice to see photographs of yours Sherry. I'm so glad you put water out for your birds as I do. So many people feed birds but forget that they need to drink and bathe too.

    Lovely visitors Sherry! I had to do a double take on the first photo to make sure they weren't stone birds :eek:

    Frank...two of the birds are stone, not sure if you knew that. They are part of the small bird bath.
