Commom yellow throat and Wilson's warblers

Last June I put in a small water feature in the yard.
Basically a small pond with a tiny stream with two small ponds. A pump keeps the water moving.
total cost, about $50.
We have had 22 species of warbler come in to drink/bath in the past year.
In all 64 species have been seen at this small water source, there may have been more and we just didn't see them.

Why go chasing the birds when they will come to you.

For my non birding friends the Wilson's is on the right.

Sam seemed quite upset over the blow to feline superiority.
