Re: [Maine-birds] Re: WT Sparrow Cape Neddick

Thank you for your excellent reminder about these drought conditions.  We have 2 bird baths (Cape Eliz.) and have had to change/ fill on a daily basis.  It appears birds may now need our water as much, or more, than seeds.

Agreed. Our bird bath has been an incredible bird magnet this month!  The drought is palpable.

In the past week we have had red and white breasted nuthatches, Carolina wren, various species of sparrow including WT, downy woodpeckers (in the water), cardinals, robins, blue jays, chickadees, titmice, red-eyed and blue-headed vireos and more.

Even had several warbler species (a black throated green still in breeding plumage) 

Fun to see but I know it means the ecosystem is stressed.

We're in Hallowell.

First to visit my yard this season.
I've seen many migrants visiting my watering stations and lingering. More critters feathered or not at the water (Keeping them shallow) than at the feeders.
