What comes into your mind when you hear the words “triple dipper”?

If you live in the U.S. – maybe your mouth starts watering at the thought of the Triple Dipper appetizer served at Chili’s, which, btw, should ALWAYS include their southwestern eggrolls!

Or maybe you think of an ice cream cone, generously topped with scoops of three different flavors.

Or…if you’re hanging about with me…you could safely assume that “triple dipper” means that three different birds showed up to take a dip in the fountain or birdbath – which is exactly what happened.

So, in keeping with the theme, how about I share three photos of each. Let’s start with the American Robin that dropped in for a leisurely splash.

This lovely little Chipping Sparrow also stopped by for a sunny day dip.

And last, but not least, this Carolina Wren was having a grand time in the side yard birdbath I can see from my study window. (In fact, if these pics seem a bit hazy it’s because I took them through the window pane!)

This energetic little bird would start at one side of the dish…

…then quickly splash his way across to the other side…

…and momentarily perch on the edge before doing it all again.

He was out there going back and forth and in and out of the water for a good ten minutes, which was great fun to watch.

Dang – this post has got me hungry for ice cream and eggrolls – though probably not at the same time!
