Hot bird 3
Uploaded: January 31, 2010
Bronzwing panting.
I have never seen these birds have a bath. They drink, but not bath (at least not in my bird bath).

He must've heard the news about your popular birdbath, Barbara...won't be long before he's splishing and splashing with the others - For now, tho, looks like he could use a nice, long, cold drink! Well done, as always! #8343875Carol Eade January 31, 2010
