Goodbye to Summer and Birds taking a Bath



Summer is coming to an end ....
...but what can be more evocative of  summer than the sounds of crickets?



I have set a shallow water-filled ceramic plate on the porch railing as a bird bath, but usually the birds are just stopping by after visiting the feeder to take a drink and rarely bathe. Yesterday, as a gentle rain was falling, a Chickadee and a female House Finch felt inspired to take a bath.

Shaking her head... but beak remained centered

Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment...
