A Bird Takes A Bath!!

The Ozarks, MO(Zone 5b)

I was watching the birds the other day and this White Crowned Sparrow decided to take a bath. I had my camera with me and got this series of shots I hope you will enjoy seeing. This little bird is one of the happiest around and it's song brings a smile to my heart everytime I hear it!

Love bird bath pics - #11 is fabulous!

We should start a daily thread just for bird bathing shots.

Great series of shots! The only one I've ever seen bathing at my place is the Mockingbird.

Thanks again everyone...I love to watch the birdies bathe! This morning a Rose-breasted Grosbeak took a bath in that same place but unfortunately I wasn't where I could get a shot of it. It was really cute though.

Sybil..That is a great idea on a thread for the bathing birds!

Are you going to start another series or convert this one?

If it's the former, I'm sorry for moving in on your thread. If it's the latter, here is my contribution. I know how you love bluebirds Rose.

Hi Dave...Yes Sybil started a new thread "Bathing Beauties) but I am happy to have the company of your wonderful Bluebirds. These are really great shots! In the first one they look like little blue ducks floating in a pond...so cute! Thank you for posting them..I couldn't be in better company!
