I saw two flickers in the birdbath today, both looking quite robust. Very happy to see them. Here is a picture of one through window and screen, not very good. But it gives you an idea. Bird bathers have to contend with the robins, who do as follows:
MR. ROBIN
Mr. Robin
who poops in the birdbath,
must learn, like us,
to preserve his source of strength.

Lol. mr robin needs to be provided with toilet paper or a pooper scooper.
Thank you, Androgoth. Yes, they are naughty and they know it, too. Did you see my comment about your last post?
These photographs are excellent Monica, one could almost reach out and touch them they are that close… I like your poem too, and you’re right there’s some manners to be learnt by those cheeky Robins… lol Have a nice evening now…
