Nature Bath time

Bath time · 11:38 PM

I caught this little critter fence sitting trying to make up his mind about taking a bath from thought to preening and drying out on a branch.....Enjoy..Cliff

Cliff, those splash photos are a great catch.

I've photographed some birds along the way, but I don't recall ever being able to catch good "splash shots" like these (not for lack of trying, BTW). Congrats.

Thanks Bob & Jer, Shots like these are why I try to always have a camera with me. I was walking the dog when I came upon this, I was afraid the dog would spook the bird before I could get the shot. I guess the bird was really focused on bath time....Cliff
