Looks great, Sharon!
I'm using a big old frying pan as a birdbath because I couldn't find a cement one this Spring at the usual box stores.

Sharon, it really was. He was a mad scientist of sorts when it came to concrete. The bird bath idea came to him because the plastic ones never lasted so the next one my mom bought he immediately went to town on it. I wish I had pictures of it or the concrete picnic table or the many other things he made.

Beach, a pie plate , or even a stone with a dip in it will work wonders. The traction and shallow edge is key- thank you for your efforts , though !

Adam, cool info to have in your history , and thank you, Dahlgren.

The kiddos have been discovering the bath over the old small one all afternoon. Siskens are like pre school attendees , they do things in groups , and follow the leader.
They have been exploring the bath, drinking and splashing in the very shallow ends that I figured they would prefer . I like when I guess behaviour on sheer observance.

I had one Evening Grosbeak also enjoy the bath, though he flew off as I was trying to focus with my cam.

Cant wait to see robins find the deep end.

The pic is very bad in resolution, through the screen and glass , but you get the idea .

It's so fun to see them focus on the exact area I figured they would.

Incredible. Unfortunately you just gave me another project and I happen to have 2 sacks of redimix.

Good on you.
