Yesterday it was 6:30 am and the outdoor thermometer reads 20 degrees.
The little birds are hopping on the ice in the bird bath and some are sipping at the edges hoping to get a drink.
The night brought 4 " of snow.

I heat up a pan of water on the stove. While the water is heating I put on my shoes and a coat. When the water is warmed I take it outdoors. The birds see me coming and fly away. I pour the warm water over the ice and it begins to melt. I rather enjoy feeling the cold hard ice under the warm water.

I can even slip my fingers under the edge and pull up the whole circle of. I have discovered if I break off a piece, I can use the rounded edge to scoop out the old water and debris. I fill it with the remainder of warm water and make my way back inside.
The birds come back one by one lining up around the edges. It does my heart good to see them sipping and enjoying a nice drink of clean water.
We give the birds water and they give us such pleasure watching them drink and take baths. We get lots of different birds.
