Even though I have a couple of bird bath heaters, I still fill a couple of
containers on the ground with water. Like Carole, I try to empty them at
night, but in the mornings I fill them with warm (not hot) water and by the
time the water hits the icy containers, it's cool. Since I work and have to
leave, I figure the warmer water will take longer to freeze on these always
below freezing days.

Subject: [TN-Bird] The power of water in the winter
After not being able to find a heated birdbath locally in Clarksville, I
decided to set out a small container of water this morning before the hard
freeze sets in for the next couple days. Thinking that all the feeder birds
would immediately swarm to it I was kind of surprised that they just kept
eating and didn't pay the water any attention. However, I was then grateful
to find that a family of bluebirds had swooped in to get a drink not even 15
minutes after I first set the container out. Couple fairly good pictures at
my new flickr page below.
