During my twenty years in Florida we had a bird bath in the rear garden frequented by blue jays, sparrows and a few cardinals - we also fed them. But in New York you can get fined for having a similar bird bath in your yard. The Health Authorities are worried about West Nile virus introduced by mosquitoes. They are debating the difference between "stagnant" water and "standing" water. So the fine can run $300. and the birds go thirsty. Expect to hear from the Audubon Society on this one.
