A young white-throated sparrow.
Just about done.
This is a young evening grosbeak. He chose to soak up the ambience rather than venture into the water.

Bath Time
The bird bath has been quite popular in all the hot weather we've had. They prefer their bathwater a bit cloudy. When it's clean they ignore it until it gets a bit of texture to it.

That grosbeak sure is pretty--and his beak doesn't look gross at all!
Yes he is, Crabby. Thanks for the smile.
The Bag Lady doesn't have a birdbath. She has dirty birds. Sigh.
Thanks for sharing the photos of your clean birds, dfLeah! Love the young grosbeak!
dfBag Lady - We are tickled silly to have the evening grosbeaks visit us. They all but took over the yard a few years ago then dropped off to virtually nothing.
It's good to have them back.
I had to look a few times before I saw that sparrow. He sure was enjoying the water! Lovely grosbeak.. and really, that's a pretty birdbath.
Thanks, Hilary. The sparrow hopped in and out of the water several times before finally declaring himself clean.
Somebody was having fun :)
Me or the birds, Mark?
Lovely photos. The birds look like they were having so much fun!
Thanks, Reb. The birds really do love bath time.
