Adding a Bird Bath to garden area

During the hot dry early Summer I had noticed that there very few hummingbirds visiting the feeders. I put plain water in one feeder hoping that might attract a few more.
They finally re-appeared after a two-week long deluge of rain.
Yesterday morning, while watching the sprinkler water the garden, I saw two little hummers playing in the sprinkles! Sitting on the fence having a shower. So I decided they needed a little bird bath..... making do for this season as the hummingbird migration will soon be underway. I am planning ahead for next Spring!
I found 100's of Bird Baths at Garden.com that are offered at fantastic prices. The selection is great and I am planning my garden around the one I choose! I might just get two, one to keep shallow for the hummers and one for the big guys.
