There’s nothing like a cool bath on a hot summer day.
That’s what these birds think.
Everyone’s got their own little bathing technique. Check these out.
Got any photographs of birds bathing in your backyard? Email me a copy to gbogue@bayareanewsgroup.com(along with any added information about same) and I’ll print them here. The more, the merrier, as they say! /Gary
