This young Blue Jay was spying on me from the tree-tops this afternoon. He must have decided that I posed little threat because he flew down to my level and helped himself to a refreshing drink at the birdbath.
With his thirst quenched, he slowly waded into the water. He was a bit cautious at first…
…but before long he was splashing rambunctiously. I promise he’s in there!
I think he was rather satisfied with his bathing experience.
Birds and water are a fun combination!

Great captures! Could he still fly after getting his feathers wet?
Yep. He just shook his feathers and off he flew.
Like it! Glad to see this one has feathers on it’s head. I have seen a lot around me missing feathers on the head.
The cardinals are the ones missing the feathers in my backyard. They can look pretty bald this time of year.
Great series of photos, Kathy! Blue jays will always be one of my favorite birds. I love them so much I spent lots of extra money to keep them happy – even though the sparrows take more than their fair share of the peanuts! 🙂
Yes…I keep my Blue Jays stocked with peanuts, and they let me know when the tray is empty! I’m pretty sure my birds eat better than I do! Btw…you need to go back to Vermont – I miss the pictures. 🙂
Hahaha, Yeah, we wish we could go back, too! I think about every other day either my husband or I say “I miss vacation!” LOL
