After Setting Up A Outdoor Camera,

in front of a bowl of water,


at their home in Vista, California, animals and birds started to visit it the bowl, so many in fact that Jennifer George set up a larger bowl complete with a solar fountain, photographs Jennifer George/ The Dodo, “It started with just a metal bowl of water,” George told The Dodo, “We thought that would be a harmless way to get [the animals] in front of the camera. That brought birds at first — mostly scrub jays. Then other animals started showing up, and I wanted to improve the accommodations for them and bought a bigger bowl and a solar fountain.”

visitors range from a snake going for a swim to a family of quail taking a bath, as well as turkey vultures, long-tailed weasels, skunks, coyotes and bobcats, “The birds particularly like the moving water, especially hummingbirds,” George said. “Right now I'm hoping to see this year's coyote puppies — we saw a pregnant female a few weeks ago.” what a lovely way to see the local wildlife.
