One of my favorite things to do is watch birds bathe. These shots are great! Really love the way she washed with her beak straight up.

You did a fine job of capturing this bird's violent bathing technique. Excellent series.

I love watching birds in my birdbaths. They seem to have so much fun.....and they don't have to blow dry their hair! I'm just jealous.
