Bath Time for Robin
By bathgate

Here’s my Robin. She’s been in my garden since her return from migration in April and really never leaves. Why should she? She’s got a nest in my nice full red maple tree and all the earthworms she can eat…and her chicks. Here she takes a bath.
Her bath is just a flipped over lid from a storage container
The textured bottom prevents slipping
It holds just enough water for a perfect bath time
She likes the deeper end
The rim is an ideal perch for a quick drink
Smaller birds like finches prefer the shallow end
All squeaky clean. Thanks for dropping by

Always guaranteed to entertain :)

They sure are. Sometimes they seem to wait in line.

What a lovely bird, no wonder you encourage her to stay be providing her own private pool.

Just catching up again ! I love your Robin ! The colours are quite different from ours ! I enjoyed your blog too !

Thank You Rose. They are a joy to watch in the garden. I love watching them pull all the grubs out of my lawn, they are so diligent about it - and quite helpful. :). Your robin is a pretty bird too.

Fun, and not so easy to get. It cheered me up!

Glad you got a chuckle. The bath is in constant use all summer.

Thanks Linda. babies are about ready to fledge. They grow so quickly. They should be gone in about a week.

as usual, very funny. Mine will not go on the ground baths. they love the elevated one, and then retreat to the rustic tower to sun themselves. It's hard for me to catch it on my camera. You did a great blog. The worm one is really something!

Thanks, Mine seem to prefer their bath at ground level. They are used to seeing me so they ham it up for the camera. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
