I have some photos from before our snow that I wanted to post, so I guess this will be an "odds and ends" day.
One of the Robins who have been helping eat the crab apples perched on the rim to get a drink and to preen a bit.
All fluffed up......looks like a miniature turkey!
OK....start at the tail
Checking each feather
Now....much prettier!
I don't get to see the Red-breasted Nuthatch too often, so I was pleased to see it stop by the fountain for a drink. Not a very attractive place for photos, but at least I got a few shots.
That heater in the water is doing a good job so far. The only trick is keeping the water level up high enough for the little birds like this one.
Time to add another liter of water!

Oops! Looks like that last one is about to fall in on his head. I need to get a heated fountain for my birds. Great pictures of the Robin preening. Blessings for a great day!
i love that pic of the robin checking each feather. and the nuthatch is a beautiful creature indeed. hope all is well.
Great pictures, Mary... I usually see Robins at the feeders when it snows --but so far, I haven't seen any. Guess we haven't had 'enough' snow yet.
I do love seeing the Robins at your heated bird bath.
Hugs,

I'd hardly class these as 'odds and end' .. two lovely species. FAB.

I like each of these 'odds and ends' photos. You got a great picture of the plumped up robin.
