One Way to Enjoy Rain

When the weather changes to cold and food is hard to find out in the fields, many birds return to a backyard.  I see many goldfinches in my backyard.
In downpouring rain, I saw several Lesser Goldfinches washing their feathers trying to remove the dirt, bugs, and sweat, or whatever that have accumulated on their wings over the hot summer months.

"Splash, splash, splash."

"I'm feeling better with a quick

rain shower to clean myself."

"Now, I am Mr. Clean Lesser Goldfinch. "
