I love Hummingbirds! And I'm always on the lookout for every possible way to attract them to our yard. The tutorial on StoriesAtoZ.com caught my eye.
Beth created a bath for hummingbirds using a oil drip pan.
I loved the look of her bath but..did'nt want to purchase a oil pan,
and I don't trust myself drilling or cutting anything with power tools!

What a pretty way you've created this bird bath.
💚 I love it and can't wait to try it myself when summer gets here! I thought I might find a right angle bit of tubing to run into the center of the "pond pointing up that'd create a mini fountain. It'd be held down by stones in the bottom of the pond. If it works I'll post pix!☺

only a few more weeks before the hummers return! Yah!
Hummers are our reward for suffering thru those endless months
of each Winter.
