I took a sample of water from the bird bath and along with the usual hoards of Haematococcus pluvialis there were a lot of small Amoeba.
Haematococcus pluvialis is around 55 microns across and the Amoeba were around 75 microns long. I don't know if they would eat a whole H. pulvaris but they look like they may have eaten bits of them.
Amoeba - 70 microns - 20X Objective DIC (Stacked and combined)
Four Amoebas
