120 x 8 ft deep , lots of brush and trees around, only 150 ft from kitchen
window feeders.

Do you think a water feature is worth it like dripping water, even a plastic
jug with small hole, or electric pump waterfall thing, etc.
I have concrete bowl of water which needs cleaning almost every couple of days.

feed the birds on a crumbling raised patio built by a prior owner just outside
the living room window. Although I have a pedestal birdbath I also have water
in a shallow flat 12 inch metal pan on the ground
A pair of mallards come sometimes for the whole corn on the ground and I
noticed the female drink out of the pan frequently. She was by herself this
morning when I got up and she was vigorously And enthusiastically taking a bath
in the little pan. She was flapping and preening and sending water in all
directions and it went on for a number of minutes
Presumably she spends her day in a large body of water where she could do this
anytime. So was this like a spa day? With buffet included? Me time away from
the nest?
