​Attracting Birds with Water

By Chanel Loren, Waterstrider teacher 

We love creating opportunity to see birds. What do birds like?
As the days are warming up birds are searching more for water. Birds need water for drinking and grooming and cooling themselves off in hott days. By putting out water in your yard you will undoubtedly attract birds and get to see and know who they are. 
 How to share water with your bird friends:

• Any simple dish or shallow bowl will do! 
• Fill it up with water and freshen it up regularly.
• You can place it on the ground, on a table, stairs, tree stump etc. 

 After setting up your bird bath you can sit near by and wait! You will be amazed at what Birds might come by and take a dip.
