We’re in a drought down here in Florida. Sadly, the dearth of rainfall is quite evident in my yard. There’s not as much greenery (though to their credit all the native, drought-tolerant vegetation I planted is hanging in there without any supplemental water) and, most notably, the popularity of my bird baths has skyrocketed.

Between the front and backyard I have four different watering stations. They are all different sizes, depths, and heights to accommodate my various feathered and fuzzy friends. I’ve enjoyed watching them sip and splash.

When people ask about attracting wildlife or pollinators to their yards my first recommendation is native plants and my second is some kind of water source. Works like a charm every time!
