Aaron Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 How about a ‘non-water bird’ ( no waterfowl, dippers, snipes, etc) taking a dip or a drink in a stream/creek/river 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I think just anything with moving water. If the pond has a waterfall or creek area that pours into it then yes. No lake shores or ocean shores though. Looking for non stagnant water bodies. Common yellowthroat is a yes. Just nothing that you would expect to find in the actual water normally on a given day. So basically no birds that use the water itself as their primary habitat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pond is in the middle of a pasture so no waterfall or creek access...it's just a pond for livestock that has a few shrubs/bushes growing around it. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I don’t think this counts, as it was a drainage pool, but the water wasn’t frozen, and it was below freezing... https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/314075261#_ga=2.185484457.1402396530.1615325815-362103245.1592329863 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
