Here are a couple of quick photos of what lives in my birdbath.

Both photos were taken with a Samsung L77 camera held against the eyepiece. That's why the focus is a little off.

Hi ajo,

I see so few amoeba in situations like this that I hurried to get a camera and take a photo. The photo is not very good because the camera was hand-held. There was a lot of flare also that did not help. It was much better just to look at it.
