The Birds Sure Do Love A Heated Bird Bath On Cape Cod.
There is certainly no shortage of birds in our yard this winter. They especially love our heated bird bath where they can get a drink when everything else is frozen, take a bath, or just hang out where it’s a little warmer.
There were 11 birds on the bird bath when I looked out. They were loving it!
When we built our home a few years ago, we specifically put in a plug on the deck that reaches the bird bath. It was well worth it just to see all of those birds! Such a variety!

Eastern screech owls are usually monogamous and mate for life, They start their mating in the winter and usually lay their eggs in late February or March. Finger crossed….

We had stopped so I could take a few photos of Provincetown’s iconic Lobster Pot tree, when I heard so much noise coming from the tree. There were hundreds of birds flying in and out of the traps and they were chirping away. This little Finch stopped to bask in the sun for a minute. Isn’t he adorable?
Even the little birds celebrate the holidays.
