My wife found a different pump and got it for me. I like this one better as it has better perching opportunities for birds such as this photo from a friends place.

Thanks. The one with the bird belongs to a friend and inspired me to put one in. So far, only fluttering in front of the dripping water. I added a small pail to produce more water noise.

New addition. Old pump drips to the old watering can below which is set at an angle so the spout drips.

I appreciate everyone who viewed, commented, and otherwise participated in this thread. It has been a labor of love dealing with this feature. I plan an expansion very soon when fall migration is finished. Take care.

It still works like a charm, Bill.

I posted this in the FB group Nature. I am expanding the water feature and it will be much improved for next migration season and all birds. I will update as long as we are still online here.

Yikes. Re-starting from scratch?

On a side note, I may soon get some dirt beneath my finger nails because of you.
