Wow! I don't think I've ever seen so many birds in one bird bath at the same time. These shots are fantastic! The starlings are adorable.

Wow, I've never seen so many birds in a bath before! How amazing!!!

P.S. Did you ever notice that starlings have such adorable little heart-shaped spots on their chests???

I wonder who the party was for. I can see that keeping this bath full would be a full time job.

Ellie said...

Hi Debbie. I've been catching up on your posts, you've been a busy girl!
How fun to see so many together at once. Seeing the male brown headed cowbirds makes me feel even more certain that your unidentified little lady was a female cowbird.
They lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, but I still think they are pretty, and I love their song.
You are right about my busy schedule. Sometimes it is difficult to balance everything. It doesn't help that my internet has been incredibly slow this week.

You are a hoot. Great photos as usual. I can't believe how many birds you get. I spent this morning trying to find my camera to take a photo of a grouse in a pine tree. No go. The second I found the camera and started to take the shot, it flew away. Bummer. Guess I'll just look at your photos.

What a party! How kind of you to provide the place and the refreshments---and a bath! GREAT photos.

Nothing is better than a POOL PARTY! Great shots.

Holy cow what a great capture of the birds. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a relaxing and fun Thanksgiving.

Karen said...

Getting a little crowded! Beautiful markings on those birds.

Word got out that there is a great bird bath at Debbie's house. Good thing they like to share. Now if there only were little tiny bird sized heated towels to go with.

xo,
Danielle
