Bath on a Sunny Fall Day

The fall colors begin to show up now.  The blueberry leaves change their colors to bright red.

On a sunny Fall day, birds can still enjoy the bath to clean up the feathers before the real cold weather hits.  Busy at the bath lately is a Song Sparrow.

"I need to get all the bugs and dirt off from 

my feathers.  One-two-three.  Go..."

"S-p-l-a-s-h..."

"I am a clean bird.  Cleaner 

than anybody else here."
