This House Sparrow was having a splashing good time in the birdbath. Enjoy a few photos of his bath time. I hope they put a smile on your face!
The sparrow paused for a moment so I could take his photo out of the water.
I had fun capturing the splashes and water droplets.
What are your plans for this second week of November?
hmmm. two plays this week. hair color. book club. work on organizing and styling apartment….
Nice to hear from you. You haven’t showed up on my reader, so I haven’t taken a look if you’re posting. Normally, you show up.
just back today!!
Okay! That makes sense.
I’ve been out breaking an ice crust on our bird bath every morning this week, and the deer are at the feeders in front every night so we know it’s fall here, even though it’s almost 70 during the day.
My plans are to stay out of the way this week. Lots of family activities and the grands grandpa (my ex) is visiting so tons of stress for everyone upstairs that I want to avoid if at all possible.
That’s amazing that you have ice on your birdbath already. Yes, I’d stay out of the way too this week!
You have a wonderful camera lens to capture all this lovely detail.
Thank you. Yes, my photography professor said if I wanted to improve I needed a better lens.
I loved the images of the ruffled feathers of the wet sparrow.
Thanks! It was so fun to watch, too.
I can imagine 😍🥰
Excellent photos, Elizabeth! So cute, he/she is having a wonderful bath time. My birdbaths are too far away to get such fine closeups. Have a great week!
You have a great week, too. I enjoyed watching this bird. I only have a few who use the birdbath and they normally just take a sip of water.
Birds are so funny when they bathe. I can’t keep my bath filled we have so many. And they’re dirty! I’m constantly scrubbing out brown residue.
🤣
They are so fun to watch. So far, we have two sparrows and one dove that like the birdbath. So it’s not busy like yours.
We have flocks of starlings that come in and empty it in minutes.
Wow!
They look refreshed. I heard a hawk this morning on walk. It was loud!
It was unusual to see the sparrow actually bathing. Normally they take a sip of water and fly away.
I was just watching a few in our nearby bath in the backyard. I was thinking of getting my phone to take a photo and it flew quickly away as if anticipating me!
👍🏼
It is gorgeous!
Thanks!
So fun! Great pics – as always, Elizabeth!
Thanks! I was looking out the window watching that sparrow when it dawned on me to take pictures!
So cute! Love, love, love!!
Thank you!!!
Oh my gosh! Spectacular photos, Elizabeth! I’m chuckling…too darn adorable! ❤️😊❤️
I took dozens of photos. That sparrow was having too much fun!
Lisa will love these! ❤️😊❤️
Yay! I was hoping you would share them with her. 💕
Will do! xoxoxoxox! 💝😊💝
🥰
Great bird bath photos Elizabeth. They sure have loads of fun splashing about
Thanks! It was fun to watch. I haven’t seen that more than once before.
I like how you’ve capture the flying water drops.
Maybe a little yard work and writing work. Perhaps a hike. I’m feeling guilty for not being one of the hundreds of volunteers digging the mud from the flooding.
Thanks! I took more than a dozen photos but picked the ones to post with the water drops I liked best. You do so much for your community with your bird counts
and other things, I wouldn’t feel guilt.
Such cute photos!!!! I’m getting ready for the holidays!
