Backyard

Photos taken Sunday evening while sitting on my back porch with camera.  Even captured a new yard bird for my list. 

Bathing robins are irresistible to me.

A surprise Tennessee Warbler appeared at the top of my pondless waterfall and checked out the flowing water.

Taking the plunge

Bathing.  You can just barely see the bird behind the overhanging stick.

If my backyard is anything to go by, house sparrows are also enthusiastic bathers.

New yard bird - female Indigo Bunting

Above and below, took many photos of the female Indigo checking out the moving water.

In the end, the Indigo Bunting decided against a splash.

Swainson's Thrush has been singing from mine and my neighbor's yards for the past couple of days.  Visited my pond frequently, but I never saw it get in.  In the right setting, I find swainson's thrushes to be very cooperative for photographs.  A true beauty.
