On Saturday afternoon we had a puddle in the driveway.
This little Junco must have been having a Saturday bath. Maybe his first bath in a very long time.
Far Guy, Chance and I watched as the water flew.
Wanna share your puddle?
I suppose ..here is a little shower for ya!
This little guy put on a show, we laughed..what great entertainment on a Saturday afternoon! The little Junco had quite a bath..and he did not relinquish his spot until he was good and ready.
Stand firm..even when other birds want to join you in your water hole.
Sunday morning the puddle had dried up..so take advantage of every puddle in your path:)
Wonderful photos ! Isn't nature wonderful and funny ! Awesome post. Have a great day !
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post - so delightful! Hope this means you've had some sun.
ReplyDeleteIt was a long hard winter and no bathing facilities. That junco really did a good job to get the feathers clean.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos - and you don't share your bath with Just Anyone :-) Jo
ReplyDeleteYou sure captured that one! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteGreat Post and Great Photos! Just imagine waiting all winter for a bath...I would NOT share either!

Love the pictures! Thanks for sharing. We have been having tons of birds at our feeder lately. More than we had all winter, I think.
ReplyDeleteAfter all that snow and ice I bet it was having fun in the warm puddle.
ReplyDeleteLove your comment about taking advantage of every puddle!
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a sprinkler system that sprayed fine bits of water. When it was dry out the birds would all come gather in the spray. We'd actually sit at the window and watch them for quite a while.
Love your pictures!
What great photos, Far Side. Thanks so much for sharing the story with us. :)
ReplyDeleteI just love the pictures, and that junco did have quite a nice bath, Connie. Redhead just had to wait his turn!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and a great story. Loved it!! Reminds me I could fill my birdbath, I'm sure my feathered friends would enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for following my blog on Ben and for your thoughts and prayers.

I like the moral of the story. I bet you did indeed enjoy watching the fun.
ReplyDeleteI love that you had your camera ready and were able to capture them before they took any flight. You can tell they are loving springtime, too!
