Default Daphnias in birdbath

I've been very busy lately and have not cleaned my birdbath nearly as
often as I should. I glanced at it this morning and noticed that there
are daphnia swimming in it! It's kind of ironic that I'm *trying* to grow
daphnia in some buckets, but haven't had much luck with them because I
don't really have time for them either....

Anyway, I'm guessing they arrived in the birthbath on the feet of birds as
eggs, but that's just a guess. Any other speculations?

=================================
That's sounds about right. I never heard of their eggs being windblown.
