[EBB Sightings] Bird showers

I just had to share this because it was so cute.

My front yard was replaced with native plants this year, but there 
hasn't been much bird activity, versus having CA Towhees and Robins on 
the lawn at times.

This morning, in the back yard, the Red-breasted Nuthatch was back at 
the peanut feeder, and Chickadees were picking at the near-empty seed 
feeder, while a CA Towhee and a few House Finches (who usually empty the 
seed feeder) were hanging around the dish that I sometimes put seed in, 
near the peanut feeder.

A bit later, I heard twittering Chickadees near the front corner of the 
house, and the sprinklers had come on in that area. A couple of them 
were hanging on to the 3-4' high Mock Orange and taking showers and 
sipping a little water! And then, the Nuthatch joined them! It gave a 
couple of "nah nah's" while hanging and fluttering to get all the parts 
washed.
