Catbird and Robin

Happy wild Wednesday! The birds have been enjoying our new birdbath (the old one broke in last winter's freeze) and I hope these robin and catbird pictures make you smile.

This robin is a frequent birdbath visitor and definitely makes a splash.

The catbirds are more delicate in their use of the bird bath.

But they definitely enjoy it, particularly on hot days. I'm thankful that we can provide a fun spot and needed water for our feathered friends.

Thank you for visiting! May God bless you!

Happy wild Wednesday! It's steaming hot here in Maryland and the wild birds have been flocking to our bird bath. This female cardinal bathed while her mate watched for predators.

This red finch really loved the bird bath. It was having such a great time I took a video of it splashing around. If you'd like to see it, let me know and I'll share it in a future blog post.

This cute catbird eyed me warily as I took photos but decided to keep bathing.

You know it's hot when birds of different species share the bird bath. The female cardinal patiently let this red finch hop in front of her for some water.

Thank you for visiting! May God bless and keep you!
