[birdky] Questions about a House Sparrow Death

[ryan church <rchurch228@xxxxxxxxx>]

This afternoon while filling our feeders at the house, I discover a dead male 
house sparrow floating in a dog bowl that we keep filled with water outside.  
The water was only three to four inches deep, but I am wondering if perhaps he 
drowned. I have seen several other sparrow hop in for a bath and hop out with 
no problem. 
 
Has anyone else ever observed a similar situation?  Is four inches too deep of 
a water supply?
