September 15 - 20: This is the very early stage of our fall foliage season. To find color, we suggest you travel to northern Maine - Aroostook County, Aroostook State Park, Allagash Wilderness Waterway, Fort Kent, Presque Isle, Ashland, Mars Hill. Peak color typically occurs in these locations the last week in September.
Algae in Birdbath Rinse it every other day or put in a circulating pump. The pump will only reduce, not rid, the bath of algae. More tips from FAQ Farmers: 1  I rinse my bird bath at least four times a week.  Scrub the bird bath with a stiff bristle brush, change the water, and repeat as necessary.
Because of that thread I tried adding a few small copper pipe fittings I got at Home Depot to the plastic and rubber birdbaths. It definitely cut down on the algae. The only problem is that I keep losing fittings when I dump out or flush the birdbaths. A bigger copper pipe would probably be much better and I think I'll put that on my shopping list. In warm weather I flush out all of the birdbaths every day (lots of bird droppings).
