A VERY POPULAR BIRD BATH/FOUNTAIN

As the temperatures hover in the upper 90's I am finding our bird bath more and more frequented by the birds of the area.


They come in all sizes, from the tiny Goldfinch above to the larger warbler below.


And the camp-robbing Jays are showing up more often now that they've learned about it.


Earlier in the week a Gambel's Quail approached it but then ambled away.


We've had the Rufous Towhee drinking and bathing in the basin.

We had a very surprise visitor one day with a hawk perched on the edge.

Mourning doves pay their visits.

And yesterday, just for an instant, there was a big-assed PIGEON who jumped up and cooled off his feet.

As I was grabbing for the camera he flew away so you have to take my word for that one.
