Bird Bath!

[rain_gryphon]

The birdbath is popular on a hot afternoon. The Sparrows act just like humans, splashing around and chattering excitedly as they crowd in together. Everyone has rather less boundary space than normal, and they all seem in a good mood, with no squabbling. I had to replace the water about every two hours.

There's a Lark flying past in front. I was watching everyone having fun in the bath, and didn't even notice him until afterward. He's headed for the tube feeder, I think, just out of sight to the right.

That was on my mind as I watched them, yeah. I'd seen pictures of humans in NY and DC just packing fountains and wading pools already that day. I normally see one or two birds in the bath, and a few more on the branch overhead standing guard and waiting their turn. That day, it was twenty or so in the bath, and at least that many watching and waiting.
