READER PHOTO: The hummingbirds demand their bath

Today ’s GPOD comes fromLeAnn Locher , a narrator and gardener in Portland , Oregon . She says :

“ We ’ve created a water feature in our garden using a rain chain with water dribble into and recirculating from a pot . It ’s nestle in among rosebush and jasmine , and is the single biggest attraction for chick visiting our garden . While we enjoy the phone and the sight , blue jays perch on the bound and drink from the “ cups . ” But the hummingbird ? They ’ll zoom by my head if it ’s not on , send the substance loud and unmortgaged to change state on their their preferred bath . Sure enough , I twist it on and the tiny little hummingbird splish and splash in there , not even bother if I creep up with my camera . ”
