The sun came out and everyone was enjoying it so much after more than a week of clouds and snowfall. This crow was taking a very energetic bath - look how far the water droplets are flying all around him!

I love crows, even more now that I've spent a year getting to know them better. They are such personalities

That is so adorable.

Today my sparrows were all over the various watering spots, and nearly emptied the shallower ones.

I have a big bowl I put out in summer and when the blackbird arrives (picture an American robin, but black), I know I will have to refill it after :D

Yeah, the larger birds use a lot more water. In summer I robins, blackbirds, etc. Hence the big red water bowl with a brick in it that can hold more.

The least I could have done for intruding on his bathtime like some paparazzi :D

Hello, corvid!

Birds bathing is very much an energetic affair, on the few opportunities I've had to witness it.

I had never seen a crow bathe at the lake before, I think it felt comfortable with all the ducks and coots around - I am very happy to have caught this
