Great capture of the water spray and good detail in the mockingbird. I love watching birds splash around like this. What a great idea to use a pie plate as a birdbath.

Great shot, Ed! Those Mockingbirds do like their baths, and can really make a splash. Great detail.

Thank you Sharron and Shirley. I have really enjoyed the birds this year. We have tried to plant to attract them without the extra feeders. I guess our neighbors have some hummer feeders. Glad we still get some of the other wild birds hanging out too.
