Hi All-- Erika and I set up our water feature a couple of days ago. This morning I was absent-mindedly gazing out the window at the lower pool when I became aware of a Winter Wren feeding along the rocks by the water's edge. Remarkably, the wren was behaving somewhat like a dipper, bobbing its body up and down, with both feet planted on the rocks. The wren did not enter the water or drink. It fed among the rocks and the leaves by the pool's edge, sometimes disappearing under leaves and rocky ledges.
I plan to sell tickets when I actually do attract a dipper to the water feature--I will let you know when one shows up here in Rice Co. :-) dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota http://danerika.googlepages.com/home http://picasaweb.google.com/danerika [email protected] ".... the best shod travel with wet feet" "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ...."--Thoreau ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
