My thanks to everyone who replied, regarding the bath question. Through the course of about a dozen emails, it became apparent that a ground bath is the way to go. While deciding that, a flash of inspiration came to mind, I am going to reuse some stone and a pad of masonry to build a bath...and make a video of the process. I will post on the forum and post a link here when it is completed...sometime in April. Later and happy birding!
