Thank you both! If only I didn't have those OOF foreground branches...but it is a heavy crop, I was a ways down the creek. He sat and played in that little rill for quite a while, it was very cute. I've seen them bathe before but only in yard birdbaths - not as nice a photo as a natural creek like this.

Mel....The robin was beautiful. I have not seen one take a bath before either and you nailed this one good! The cardinal is OK but for the pose...

Ha, always love seeing these smaller birds do the splash thing Great shot and timing. The Cardinal, just love seeing those from up your way, beautiful bird and the colours are great in those. Like the peeking look to that shot, just nosing its way from behind the branch

All the best Mel, nice shots.
