Robin, Robin Redbreast

For many months last year, after buying a used cast iron bird bath, I yearned for birds to come and use it!

None came.

But during the winter, by providing lots of seeds,  the little feathered friends started to visit.

You can imagine how thrilling it was to see a fat robin taking sips out of the birdbath.

Not only did he sip, he took a dip!

I didn't get the bath part on camera but it sure was thrilling to see!

He fluffed his wings and moved them quickly back and forth, splashing like crazy.

From the backyard porch, I cheered him on silently, not wanting to scare him.

The Biblical phrase "Good things come to those who wait," definitely came true in this case.

DO YOU HAVE A BIRD BATH IN YOUR YARD?
