It's just that I am too dumb to have thought of a bird bath for the little buggers. My cats have long given up the thought of trying to catch one. It is mighty hot out. I will think of something for them.

A shallow plate/pan of water near the feeders would probably do the trick.

They're boids, so here is where I put 'em.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I recently bought m'self a new camera, a Canon EOS Rebel T6, (I got the Premium Kit w/18-55mm stabilized lens, and 75-300mm lens), and, by far the most impressive feature is start-up time. Many, many, times faster than anything I've owned. Impressive is the word for it.

Representing the start-up speed, here are two pics that I just cannot stop thinking about:

The first pic, the turkey crossing the road, I'll admit, I had the camera in my hand when I saw her (?), but it was off. She ran into the road, I saw her, flicked on my camera, fired off a quick draw shot, and that camera not only came on in time, but, managed to focus (kinda) on what I was taking a picture of. Into the sun, through a filthy windshield, no less. If you've ever seen a turkey with a destination in mind you know that they can cover quite a bit of ground quite quickly. I was fairly amazed it caught the pic as well as it did. I only resized the pic for posting, no editing.

The other pic, crane/egret/heron/wtfe, happened almost the same way except the camera was in the passenger seat, off. When I saw the boid, it was already in flight, in a very shady section of a small creek, about to go around a bend. This pic I sharpened a bit, and darkened just a shade. The camera tends to over-expose a little when photographing brightly lit greenery (shooting in no-flash-auto-mode).
