I have at least two pair of Catbirds that come around. This very pregnant looking one is standing in the purple lobelia at the edge of the waterfall. |
|
I want to think this is her mate... but who knows. They seemed to have a conversation. Doesn't she look like her feet should be swollen? |
|
Sneaking a drink at the bottom of the fall |
|
Sparrows of all kinds show up and take a swim or get a drink |
|
Once the flowers began to bloom one of my favorite birds arrives... |
|
|
This is a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird |
|
When the purple Meadow Sage Salvia took off I got quite a lot of Yellow Sulphur Butterflies hanging around |
|
I plant Lantana for the hummingbirds but the bees love it too |
|
Goldfinches enjoy the water as much as the next bird to come along |
As the water continued to flow over the rocks and falls..... the visitors continued to come
|
An Eastern Towhee would sit on my car mirror and cry to chase the bird he could see reflected there |
|
One of the four groundhogs that live under my playhouse and tool shed came and found some cantalope to devour |
|
After a long bath..... |
|
and thrashing around for some deep cleaning... this young Female Rose breasted Grosbeak |
|
Looking as if she would take off like a plane |
|

|
|
Hops onto a close by rock |
|
and dries off in the hot sun |
Last but not least... my favorite visitor to the waterfall ..
just as colorful as a beautiful bird and enjoying the water on her tiny feet.... Pandora, one of my daughter's twins.

all of these visitors are special,but none so special as that sweet little girl.
I never knew a waterfall was so attractive. We have a fish pond and I do see birds drinking there along the sides sometime, but I am never able to photograph them without frightening them away. Nice pictures.
