Late afternoon baths

We haven't spent much time outside lately because of the wildfire smoke and poor air quality, but at times there have been quite a few birds visiting the water bath in our yard.  Here's a sampler (photos taken through the kitchen window on 17 November 2018).  [Click in the images for larger versions.]


 

Bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus)



 

Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula)




Townsend's Warbler (Setophaga townsendi)




Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata)



 

Fox Sparrow (Passerella iliaca)

    Thank you for the great songbird photos. I'm using them for drawing practice, I hope that's ok with you. I sketched the kinglet today & he's posted on my instagram if you'd like to look at him. Those guys have to be in the top 5 cutest birds of all time in my opinion. Linda Schneider

    Hi, Linda!

    Yes, I'm glad the photos can be useful for sketching. How do I find your Instagram account?
