The Great Egret is the largest white bird found in most of it’s range.

The great egret’s population was greatly diminished  in the early 1800′s due to plume hunters wanting the Egret’s lacy plumes that form on it’s back and tail during mating season. They are Monogamous and will nest with other wading birds such as The Great Blue Heron.

The Great Egret is a stealthy hunter and prefers to hunt in shallow marshes and wetlands. It will sit very still waiting patiently for it’s food to swim by and then in a flash it strikes it’s food source.  They are very beautiful birds.

Adding a solar powered bird bath to your garden can be a great way to attract birds and conserve energy!

We recently launched our bird store. I just added a new category of bird baths that I would like to share with you. They are solar powered! What could be better for your garden than a solar powered bird bath or fountain.

Bird baths are a great way to attract birds into your yard. They can provide them with water all year round. I have had more species of birds visit my bird baths than my feeders.

Solar powered bird baths are ECO friendly harnessing the power of natural sunlight and converting it into energy that is used to circulate the water in the fountain which can help maintain it’s cleanliness. This flow of water can also be a very soothing and stress relieving.

I really like these two solar powered bird baths.

A low-voltage, solar-powered pump sends water to the top vessel, where it trickles back down to the basin in a continuous cycle.
