The dirty birdbath continued to be a big hit yesterday, so much so that the birds couldn’t wait to take turns, but frequently doubled up, with two separate birds, and even two separate species, sharing the bath at the same time.
Among the photos taken was this one by jodi at 4:21 p.m. I like the apparent size contrast between the dry, fluffy junco on the back of the bath, and the wet, apparently much smaller one on the front:
Here’s a nice action photo by vireo of what I assume are the same pair of birds, taken a minute later. Mr. Fluffy has finally entered the water, while the wet one is really going to town:
I also liked this one, taken at 4:21 by jodi, where a stuffy Britisher deigns to join the bath with his American neighbor.
Birdbath shots are just a lot of fun.
