I have several bird baths placed around the garden to ensure the garden wildlife has access to water. The most elegant is this flower-shaped bowl. However, it’s not the most popular. That would be the foot-tall saucer intended to serve raccoons. If your bird bath is regularly knocked over by raccoons at night, the solution is simple. They’re just looking for water. Put out a bowl that they can reach. Robins are especially fond of this bath. Here’s a sequence of photos featuring a robin having a morning splash.
Ready…
Set…
Splash!
Ahhh, that feels better.
