When I was at the garden on Sunday I, of course stopped at my favorite spot to watch the birds enjoying the water there. These two young mourning doves seemed a little afraid of the water. They kept watching it carefully and reaching toward it but they seemed afraid to venture to the edge.
This little house sparrow on the other hand, splashed around in the water enjoying a refreshing dip.
And, this house finch appeared to be admiring his reflection.
But, then he jumped in and gave himself a very good bath.
I love watching birds splash around in the water. It makes me smile every time.

Those are such funny photos, I like them all enjoying the water!
Birds seem to enjoy the water so much when they have a bath! Great pics, Sharon!
Lovely!!!
Haha, they are cute, Sharon !
Nice pics !
The last one is my favourite.
Nothing like a good bath even for the birds. The last one made me laugh, he's really enjoying splashing around. Great photos, Sharon.
Love, love, looove these shots Sharon, I really enjoy our trips to your Botanical Garden 💙
Nice shots! Little birds are among the hardest to shoot. I love your last shot of the bathing finch. It reminds me of a dog shaking as it comes out of water.
I need you to be my small bird identifier. I am good with big birds, but not the finches, swallows, wrens, etc.
Your photos shame me. But they're beautiful.
Sparrows are funny aren't they? They really have no fear.
Great bird shots!
