“In My Garden” is the birdbath in my mother’s garden, photographed just before the Thanksgiving snows came while we had the last of the Autumn color. A birdbath is a great Christmas present.

In the age of malls and condos, just as the birds need us to grow plants they can eat, they depend on us for fresh water for drinking and bathing. Many of the ponds, marshes and streams once relied on are now history. This makes a proper birdbath very popular—and more fun to watch than Animal Planet.

If you read last week's comments, you'll see that the pictured location was immediately "outed" as my mother's backyard, complete with its share of non-migrating Canada geese. The local belief is that Canada geese like only mowed grass and are, accordingly, a suburban enhanced species So, we neatly combine two suburban ecology issues: our love-hate relationship with lawns and Canada Geese.
