Somebody's Thirsty


We woke up the other morning to find that our birdbath in the back yard had been tipped over again.



It's a metal birdbath, about three feet tall; it's not the heaviest thing in the world, but it does take some effort to turn it over.  To my mind, that means it would take a fairly sizable critter to turn it over.  I don't think the skunks or opossums that frequent the neighborhood could have done it.  The Gray Fox or a large raccoon might have been tall enough to do it, but I'm thinking it was probably a Coyote.

The last time the birdbath was tipped over, Cindy saw a Coyote running down the edge of our canyon a few days later.  They seem to have discovered that our bird feeder attracts birds and Ground Squirrels and it looks like they may also have decided it's a good place to get a drink, too.
