Sorry for the wall of photos I'm about to post folks but I just can't decide on 2 or 3.
It's the season when all the juvie bluebirds from this years different clutches gather together in one big flock. They are so cute! Scared & learning how to go on in the great big world, ones from the first clutches are maturing & think they're hot stuff. There are still clutches being raised in the nests yet. Moms & dads are busy taking care of babies. The birdbath gets to be like Grand Central Station and I go out around 3 times a day to refill it -- still it often isn't enough and it's dry before nightfall.
An adult male is in the right rear of this one. The rest are juvies.
Adult male alone
Splish splash, he's taking a bath
He's getting fed up with these young upstarts who keep interrupting
The kids finally get a chance to bathe
Say cheese!
A mature male is bathing. If you click through the photos quickly, it's almost like watching a film. Watch the tableau unfold..
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
