We live in west central Florida, just south of Tampa Bay. The area we
are in is 1 acre wooded lots and we happen to be on a lake/pond. It's
probably about 1-2 acres in size. Occasionally we have a duck or
other water bird settled on the water, but we see other places around
that are much different. Some little bodies of water of similar size
have a load of water birds hanging out seemingly all the time.

We have fish (small fish, bluegills, some bass) and turtles out
there. So how can we attract more water birds to our little spot of
water????


Make trails leading to the water. They should consist of french fries, bread
cubes and pieces of ice cream cones. Works like a charm at a boat launch I
use, which is adjacent to some snack bars.
