Our favorite winter birdbath is the Kozy Bird Spa. Comes with a pedestal, which the cord goes up through.
The heating element is built into the bowl. The cord plugs in from inside the pedestal.
Our bath attracts even more species of birds than the feeders do. Every bird has to drink!
Everyone interested in watching wild birds deserves her or his very own binoculars.
A good binocular for getting started does not have to be expensive, but it should have good optical quality.
The Eagle Optics Shrike 8x42 costs under $100.
