The underlying reason for the warbler show is of course warbler migration. But one reason they visit our yard is the trio of water features just outside our living room.
The bird baths, the bubbler, and the mister. (It also helps we live in the woods.)
The above image isn't noisy (in the photographic sense). No, that is the mist. Mist these birds, like this female American Restart, really seem to enjoy.
It is truly amazing how many birds these water features attract.
We first learned of misters for birds when we visited Pat Sutton's Wildlife Garden, back in the before times. We also learned about small frog ponds while there. Her site is a great resource for anyone who wants to attract wildlife to their yard, no matter the size. Go visit!
