I know the feeling, I've pull 3 dead sparrows out of my pond this summer and I
have 3 bird baths. They like the waterfall and try to bath in the flowing
water. I think they get on the string algae and slide in, then can't get out.
Why is it, it never happens when I'm watching? I've tried rearranging the
rocks and cleaning them, but...

Yeah, I'm thinking it's possible that the bird tried to land on a lily
pad. But it could have slipped from the liner's edge trying to reach
down for a drink, or from the raised container of the bog plant I put
in the middle.
