Well, I figured I’d end the “Bathing Bonanza” series with a mish mash of other birds that have stopped in for a backyard bath.

This cute little Dark-eyed Junco just arrived for the winter months and had a nice splash.

This Chipping Sparrow also popped in. In fact, he and his friends have been showing up for baths on a regular basis.

Robins have been enjoying the dish that we have at the top of the fountain…

…and a Bay-breasted Warbler was singing and bathing at the same time.

This little wild-winged bird also enjoyed an exuberant bath. I’m really not sure what kind it is. My app says it’s a Warbling Vireo, but I didn’t think they came round these parts! Whatever the id, it was fun to watch!

Oh, and birds weren’t the only ones who love the water – the fountain is a favorite for frogs too!

Okay…full transparency…when I saw this frog posing so prettily, I grabbed my camera thinking surely he’d be gone before I managed to get a shot. But he just sat there…in fact…he sat there so long he made me suspicious. Sure enough, when I touched him, instead of darting under the water he just toppled over! Turns out I was taking pictures of a lovely dead fellow. I guess you could say he croaked!

Well, that’s it for the “Bathing Bonanza” series – though I’m sure there will be more wet feathers to share in the future.
