This was a busy bird bath house time....
The weather was hot, the bird bath was full and the birds were using it. It was funny to watch them.....
At last... a bath..... ohhh, the water feels good.... 
It feels so good.....
Oh, that is nice....
Oh, oh... time to get out... another bird is in line... it's his turn....
Poor bird... there was no time to straighten all of those feathers and they were all messed up. He perched on the side of the birdbath for only a moment, then he flew away and left the robin to his bath time. I assume he did his grooming elsewhere.
One difference between the two birds was that the robin's bath was much shorter.... and not so wild. He got all wet...
and then he got out. He groomed himself this way and that...
It was interesting to see all of the various contortions he went through to do his grooming.
Finally, he was done... and flew away, leaving the bird bath house empty and ready for the next bird. I didn't see what came next though.... but I'm glad I saw these two. It was an interesting glimpse into their habits. What an amazing God we have who created these birds.
Thank you for visiting my blog today... :)

These pictures are just wonderful! What a blessing to be able to capture all of this! I called my husband over to see this...he LOVES birds. It made us want to move our bird bath closer to our house, so we can watch it better. :) Praying for you, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl! :) It was fun... and I can see ours from the front window which is handy. :) I appreciate your prayers more than I can say.... thank you.
DeleteI LOVE my birdbath. It is just outside my kitchen window where I can often see all the bird antics. Angela
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have it where we can see it so easily. The birds are quite entertaining. :)
DeleteWhat precious pictures, my dear. I am not sure if I have ever told you, but my sweet grandma Betty loved Cardinals so when I see them I always think of her :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing back memories through your images and thank you for sharing with Roses of Inspiration.
What a sweet memory of your grandma. :) My grandma collected elephant figurines! Whenever I see them, I think of Grandma and her collection. :) It's funny how simple things can revive old memories.
DeleteI do love to watch the birds take a bath. I moved mine from the back part of our yard so it would be closer to the house but they just haven't taken to it yet! Maybe it's too close.
ReplyDeleteMaybe... or maybe they just need time to get used to it... ours has been in this same place for several years now... and there are not always birds at it, but it gets used by many birds... I hope to get pictures of the goldfinches at it sometime. :)
DeleteSuch a cute story and pictures. I love to watch the birds!
ReplyDeleteThank you... they are fun to watch... and I enjoy the colors also. :)
DeleteWhat beautiful photos. I love watching the birds :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.... it is entertaining to watch the birds... my parents love watching them at their place also... they feed them and have a bird bath... but we just have the bird bath. Of course, there is plenty for them to eat w/ the garden and all. :)
Deletelooks like they are really enjoying that bath
ReplyDeleteYes, they were... it was funny how deliberate they both were about being safe before starting. :)
DeleteWe love watching the birds take a bath in the birdbath we have in the garden. So much free entertainment! Thanks for sharing this on The Maple Hill Hop!
ReplyDeleteIt is great to watch... they seem to have their own personalities also which is fun. :)
DeleteThese are the sweetest photos! I love cardinals and robins and many frequent our yard as well. I enjoy watching their antics. It was wonderful scrolling through this collection of photos!

Thank you so much.... it was fun to see them... there is so much that happens right outside our windows and yet, many times we are too busy to notice. I'm glad God directed me to see this. :)
DeleteLovely photos! Definitely a great photo op! And that red bird is so beautiful, not one I would ever see here in Sweden.
ReplyDeleteReally great post. Thank you for sharing. :-)
Sorry I am so late in responding... thank you! It was fun to see these birds... It would be interesting to see the birds you have in Sweden also. :)
DeleteThat was fantastic to see and I bet you enjoyed watching them. Thank you for sharing these photos with us at Good Morning Mondays. Blessings
ReplyDeleteI sure did enjoy watching them. :) Thank you for visiting.
DeleteThose are awesome - I love the captions to go with them! Is the birdbath very close to your house? Just wondering how you managed to get such close-up pics!
ReplyDeleteThank you.... Yes, it is just out in front of the house and I can see it through the window... a perfect spot for watching. :) Glad you visited.
DeleteIf it gets TOO busy check out bird removal NJ!
ReplyDeleteHmmm!Interesting idea... especially when they cause problems in other ways. :) Thank you for stopping by. :)
