Not so many birds have been around yet for this new bird bath. There is one male Goldfinch who pops up every now and again. This little guy arrived before a thunderstorm last night and it rained buckets. I said I think he needs a tiny stepladder and asked Gregg if he could make one to help. I got an affirmative “no!” Oh well! Yes I was joking I told him but I don’t think he quite believed me. I am looking around for a ground bird bath. The other one cracked. Gregg knows I can squirrel speak. He told me to tell squirrel to go to the creek which is on the other side of the trees. Harsh! Grin….
Enjoy your day friends and
thanks for stopping by.
You were so much in the right place at the right time!! A pic of him first discovering it!
ReplyDeleteI have a camera on the birdbath Ginny. For me this has been a watched pot never boils, so when he popped up I was delighted :)
DeleteThat’s just how men are, dear Denise—haha, mine is no different. How cute it is the way the squirrel is looking at the new one. Maybe the birds just need to get used to it first!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Elke
Thank you for the smile Elke :) We noticed our whole neighborhood seems to be very quiet with not too much activity. Maybe it is the heat? Hugs, Denise
Deletehow cute, I have a birdbath which is raised and concrete, algae was forming too often. I read a piece of copper placed in the water keeps the algae from growing, so far so good. I also have placed a piece of copper in my 'on the ground' critter waterers too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the copper idea Linda. I will try that.
DeleteLovely photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne :)
DeleteToo bad it isn’t being used more because it is such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteIt is but am hoping it is just a matter of time :)
DeleteHe looks so cute peeking over the edge of the birdbath. I definitely think he needs a ladder....lol
ReplyDeleteMe too Ann, lol! :)
DeleteYou are getting visitors faster than I did.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get yours soon Linda :)
DeleteThat photo is a gem! Ha! Those squirrels always find a way. Have a beautiful day, Denise.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too Ellen and they certainly do! You have a beautiful day too :)
DeleteCute photo of the squirrel, nice bird bath! Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen and the same to you :)
DeleteHmm - I am wondering if squirrels and birds mix. But I bet it would be so cute.
ReplyDeleteImagination is a fine thing, in my world they do, lol!
Deleteoooooh denise, i am sorry to say "i do not believe you either!! hehehehehe, you are just too kind!! thats a great picture, perfect timing!!
ReplyDeleteHehehe…you and hubby can read me like a book. I have actually been thinking of looking for small step ladders, for decorative purpose only 😉. Thanks Debbie :)
DeleteLets see if he figures out a way, they are clever and relentless.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Christine :)
DeleteBut, that bird bath is so much more fun than the creek.
ReplyDeleteIt is! Now if only it had a stepladder ;)
DeleteSquirrels are opportunists cute but so hoggish and cheeky
ReplyDeleteHugs cecilia
That they are Cecilia. Hugs, Denise :)
DeleteThat goldfinch is adorable, and I love that you asked Gregg for a tiny stepladder! Too funny. Hope you find a great replacement ground bath soon (and that the squirrels take the hint)!
ReplyDeleteThank you Melody, happy you enjoyed the humor. I've already found a ground bath but whether the squirrels take the hint, maybe, or not, Lol!
DeleteThat is such a cute picture.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's what the squirrely expected to see when he made it up there.
Hi Sandra and thank you. He did have an interesting look on his face didn't he? :)
DeleteThat is such a sweet picture ... I love it :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you glad and I am happy you loved it. Thank you and all the best, Denise :)
DeleteLook at that cute squirrel face, and those tiny little paws! I wonder if he was disappointed that it wasn't bird seeds instead?
ReplyDeleteHello Sara, how lovely to see you here. I really do wish I could speak squirrel to ask what was going through his mind at that particular point in time, grin... :)
DeleteYou're right . All the creatures need water
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do Red, thank you :)
DeleteLinda ardilla. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGracias, yo también lo pensaba :) Te mando un beso.
DeleteOh haha. He was thirsty. I haven't had a lot of birds lately, but there's so much other food for them right now. Hope you're having a super week. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, happy it gave you a chuckle :) I've heard that from other blogging friends about lack of birds. I really do wonder if it is the heat. There aren't even a lot in the trees. I keep looking for them.
DeleteThe squirrel is wondering what dark magic this is
ReplyDeleteChuckling, thank you! He was very interested in the camera lens later I noticed :) Is this my best profile?
DeleteA diving board would be good too! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteLol! Good one Linda, love that :) Can't wait to ask my other half to put that one together, hehehe!
DeleteEverything that humans provide for birds is diverted to squirrel use. It’s an immutable law of nature!
ReplyDeleteVery true David!
DeleteWhat a cutie! Squirrels deserve a drink!
ReplyDeleteVery much so Jenn and they certainly do :)
DeleteNice try! He's pretty cute!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is :)
Deleteyes he did. so cute. ours are gone for now
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra, and I hope yours come back, if you want them to that is :)
