Splish, splash!

  

Today's rain filled our bird bath...and then a flock of Bushtits (Psaltriparus minimus) came by and enjoyed a bath.  Bushtits seem to do everything together, so there was lots of splashing!  

Most of the time, foraging Bushtit flocks move through our yard fairly quickly, so it was nice to see them pause, if only for a minute, and enjoying the rain.

I love how you added a perch above the bath! I’m adding one TODAY to mine.

Excellent follow-up to the cooper's hawk. Ha ha.
