Since birds also need water in the winter, I have been leaving the pump going in my small (4 ft x 6 ft) pond in the backyard. It keeps an area of water open except after a spell of really cold weather when I have to break up some of the ice that forms. All of the birds that come to my feeders also fly down to the pond to get drinks of water. These include the Northern Mockingbird as well as: Rock Pigeons, Mourning Doves, Black-capped Chickadees, Blue Jays, European Starlings, House Sparrows and American Goldfinches. The sound of the bubbling water probably acts as an attractant. Don Don MacNeill donmacneill@eastlink.ca
