COME ON IN THE WATERS FINE (THREE PHOTOGRAPHS)

A few posts back I featured a grackle taking a bath at the same spot in the river. Once it had left the shallows this robin took its turn. Other than cooling them off, it seems that a bath keeps a bird’s feathers in good shape and makes them more agile in flight. The robin’s exuberance was very appealing and it remained long enough for me to take these shots. I wonder who is going to show up here next?

    Great shots of both birds. I love watching them bathe. Robins especially seem to enjoy baths…even when the water is freezing cold.
