We Un-made the Fountain


After nearly a week of no birds and not even any squirrels bathing or drinking in the fountain, Don decided that the water was moving too fast and scaring them away. So I unplugged the pump, removed the saucers, dumped out the water and the rocks, and took it down. I put the old still-water birdbath back and the birdies are gradually coming back. I want to find another place to put the fountain, though. It's just too cool to put in the shed. Besides, there's a colony of earwigs that live under the birdbath saucer and they need a home. (I don't have an earwig picture so I'm substituting one of Bonairean ants hauling home a dead bug.)
