This Blue Jay stopped in to sit and soak in the fountain.
After his scrub (which left him drenched, drippy, and looking dirtier than when he started) he flew up to the deck rail to grab some grub.
Then, with his feathers washed and his stomach filled, he found himself a sunny spot to perch while he dried off.
These guys are always one of my favorite birds to photograph.

Different species of birds gather in our fountain at different times during the day to bathe, get a drink or visit.
Birds and water – a combination that simply makes one smile!
The wet shots are brilliant!
Thank you. 🙂 I love how funky his crown gets.
Love the spiked up hairdo!
These photos are absolutely gorgeous. All of them! Lucky you to have such birds around. Look forward to more photos!
Birds and water are a winning combo! 🙂
