Blue Jay in the Tub!!
The Blue Jays are so happy to reside here.
They come all day long.
If you put out peanuts, they come in droves.
If you don't put out peanuts they squeal, until you do.
I rarely see them in the bird bath.
They come for drinks but they don't bath.
It got pretty hot the other day and this one began acting up...
He hopped out to be sure I was watching...
This is the order in which I took these pictures,
over the course of no more then one minute.
SOOC, the images are not cropped,
they were taken through the glass window in my kitchen.

You have outdone yourself on this series, my friend. Absolutely adorable! You really captured their personality.
ReplyDeleteNo to miałaś co oglądać. Zdjęcia ptaka w kąpieli są rozkoszne. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteWell, you had something to watch. Photos of the bird bath is lovely. Yours.
Oh my goodness - he really did take a bath and got soaked - how cute! sandie
ReplyDeleteLike a symphony in blue!! Great shots! Poor little fella looks a little bedraggled in that last shot. But he probably felt good!
ReplyDeleteTiny thought this was the funniest post ever. He was giggling so much looking at each picture. It was very amusing. Wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun watching these little guys take a bath! Even dripping wet they're cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and what a bath it was...
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are beautiful. Wow. He is adorable. Love the one where he is shaking off the water.

Wow lady, you must have the cleanest windows in the USA!!! Great shots, made me chuckle at the antics!!
ReplyDeletesuch characters. love it when they face plant. :)
ReplyDeleteThe series of photos is wonderful. I love to watch Blue Jays. They are very territorial.
ReplyDeleteOh these are terrific! Love the last one! Maybe you should offer to help him dry off with a blow dryer!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these!!! What a great series! Blue Jays can be a bit obnoxious but they are beautiful anyhow.
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute. I laughed out loud with the last picture (my favorite).
ReplyDeletexo,
Danielle
So funny! You really caught that bath.
ReplyDeleteHow funny, really enjoying the water and they are soaked. So funny!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. He was really getting into it. Love the way the feathers are in all directions but the right one.
ReplyDeletehaha! GREAT shots, Debbie! Love the water frozen in mid-air! He kinda looks like he's been run over in that last photo. LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of a little actor!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteNow THOSE are some FANTASTIC action images!!! We don't have blue jays this far south....but, wish we did!
ReplyDeleteFantastic series Debby. And sorry but the last photo maked me laugh.

A great series of photos. The little bird looks so cute taking its bath.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, you got some great shots of the jay bathing. The last shot is funny. Thanks for sharing, awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteHa love the pictures, they're wonderful!! You definitely got some good ones of him :) :) Hugs, Holly
ReplyDeletemakes me wish i had some feathers to wash. too cute!! (:
ReplyDeleteYou have the pointy head kind. We just have the normal scrub jay. Boy he makes me mad and I almost cried when he fought the doves off and him and the wife built the nest in the tree closest to my bedroom. The children are such brats and so noisy. Not to mention ill behaved. Always dive bombing me when I am not paying attention. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun series of photos. He's definitely enjoying that bird bath.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonder there is any water left in the bath, the way he is flinging it about!! But I agree that the last shot is the best!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome set! don't you just love it when your in the right place at the right time.
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute...I throughly enjoyed each and every shot and it made me smile.Thanks and have a great day!

Fantastic shots, Debbie! He really got soaked good! Cute.
ReplyDeleteI love that series of just natural shots!! He sure was having some fun cooling off too. Adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI just looked at this again, and realized I didn't comment - work must have interrupted my blogging life. Really. These are great shots! LOVE the flying drops of water...and that shot of him staring right at you all mussed up....I think that's how I look in the morning!!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so good, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he's having such a great time, and I just love the last one. The feathers on his head look like a mini Mohawk haircut!
You have a great day! xo.
What a wonderful series! It's so much fun to watch them splashing in the birdbath.
ReplyDeleteThis one looks different than what I'm used to seeing here, Debbie. The gray circle around the eye is something I'm not used to seeing.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures of the bathing beauty.
Debbie, you must have the cleanest windows ever. This photographs are fabulous! What a joy to watch this Blue Jay delight in the bird bath. Love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and hilarious too!
ReplyDeleteThese were simply delightful!
ReplyDeleteLoved every one of these!!!
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
ReplyDeleteOh such a cutey-pie... I love the action shots fluffing about in the water. Brilliant Debbie :D)
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so elegant, with the bird & the contrasting beautiful fountain.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures reminds me about my own bird a few years ago, a beautiful yellow & turquoise little undulate, that enjoyed taking regularly baths in one or two of our small glasses of water on the kitchen table.
