I got a bird bath right by the pond and keep it freshly filled. Birds are
always in their bath. The pond is netted so they can't get there, although a
friend of mine netted hers and always gets birds caught in it. She won't buy
a dern birdbath. I guess I'm go have to buy one for her and take over there
just so she don't kill anymore birds in her net.

It seems like some birds get in to drink or bathe in a spot that isn't as
shallow as they though it was, they get their wings too wet to be able to
get
out again. Bullfrogs will also strike at a bird, try and eat it but fail
and
leave the bird in the water.
And finally, this happened the other day, while DH and I were pond
sitting. All
of a sudden a 'hunk' of bird fell out of the sky and into the pond! I went
to
get the net and the fish beat me too it. (shudder). We figure a hawk lost
part
of his meal in flight.

Heal up fast, BV!
