#birds The robin steps up to the bath and then braces itself for a few splashes. (It's been cold - so it is less enthusiastic than on warmer days.)

#birds A mourning dove splashes. Before splashing it looks up into the noon-time sunlight - so its face appears to "flash". The bigger birds don't "go for it" like the sparrows and robins and blue-jays! (From about 10 days ago).

#birds - Three (count them) grackles come to the bath at the same time. They all drink, and one fluffs their feathers (I think that one is a female). Their spectacular iridescence is somewhat muted because the bird-bath is in the shade this late in the day...

#birds A pair of house sparrows (one male, one female) share a bath in the middle of the day. It's clear that they like the water.

#birds We seem to have a neighborhood Flicker! It's back and looks pretty happy to be taking another bath. This is noon-day sun, and the Flicker is mid-bath - all fluffy and wet. The background visitor is a house sparrow wandering around and finally getting s a drink.

#birds This is a female house sparrow splash-drinking. They come by the bath often and usually stay for a while - sometimes displaying a lot of aggression against other visitors. This is from four days ago in cloudy mid-day light.

#birds Starlings are now passing thru on their way south.

#birds a Junco takes a thorough bath. The slightly misty quality is due to condensation on the lens.

#birds - another October post that got lost. Noisy Starlings at the bird bath.

#birds house sparrow - enjoying the bath
