Have you ever thought about adding a water feature to your backyard? Well stop thinking about it and make it happen. Several years ago I had built a little stream with a waterfall to help attract birds. Did it work? I have to say it was a big success. The following photos are from my patio overlooking my stream. The birds are not only attracted to the stream to get a drink but most of them spent a good deal of time taking a bath. This gives me added time to enjoy their presence.

I have also had other birds in the stream like Hermit and Swainson's Thrush and Pine Siskins that I didn't have a camera ready to photograph. So as I stated above I think everyone needs a water feature in their yard. Hope you enjoyed the photo.
