Adding a Solar Water Feature at the Audubon North Bay Sanctuary

We worked with the Coastal Bend Audubon Society to create an environmentally conscious water feature that could be enjoyed by both the birds and the bird watchers!

David created some beautiful carved concrete leaves that drip and flow into a little concrete stream, which disappears seamlessly into the stony ground. This water feature is powered by several solar panels, leaving behind a very green footprint (and a few bird foot prints as well).
