I know water features are a big draw. We had one 5+ years ago. Did not
replace because of cost. The decline in birds in my Eagan yard has been huge.
Does anyone want to share a description of their water features? Especially
ideas for do-it-yourself, less costly options? Photos would be great.
I had no warblers this year. Did have a yellow-bellied sapsucker last week.

Photographed yesterday at my home in Mendota Hts.: hooded warbler, Tennessee
warbler, yellow-rump, Yellow-bellied sapsucker, blackpoll warbler,
ruby-throated hummingbird, cedar waxwing; seen not photographed, wood ducks,
great-crested flycatcher...nothing better than a water feature to attract
variety.

Birded 140th Street Marsh and 180th Street Marsh in Dakota Co. At 140th
Street we found the Cattle Egret and the Dunlin both in full breeding
plumage. Both were also reported by others on the south side of the road.
As we left the egret flew to the other shore and was no longer visible.
Soras were especially vocal.
At 180th Street we had great views of Soras and Spottted Sandpipers. Ducks
included several Redhead, a Ringed-neck, and about 20 Ruddies. New birds
included Marsh Wren, Bank Swallow, a Northern Waterthrush, and Yellow
Warblers.
