[TN-Bird] rewards of a water feature

Last year, Kay suggested we assemble a small water feature. After some  
experiments, we used a shlastic tray weighted with rocks, a very small 
submerged  
pump feeding a small metal fish. The water splashes out of the fish mouth onto  
the stones. The rewards have been spectacular. Many birds bathe, we have very 
 good views of otherwise shy warblers and last year four species of thrush 
used  it a great deal, at one moment all at the same moment. This morning we 
had 
long  clear views of a Kentucky warbler, a yard bird we had missed before. He 
was  number 120. Ralph and Kay Brinkhurst, Lebanon, Wilson  County.
