... but it is where the deer and larger animals can't get it.

In this dry heat, I feel badly, it was kind of nice having a watering hole where I could watch not only the birds, but the deer and turkeys (and I think night critters drank there too). But when there were mountain lions spotted in the area I had to re-think. There are larger ponds and such in the area that the deer can go to.
