A Bath

This morning at the Point Reyes Bear Valley Trail trailhead, Madame Blackbird was taking a bath, while Monsieur waited. Blackbirds bathe at all times of year to keep their feathers in top condition. They love to splash and create a shower by flipping their wings. Once they are done, they shake off and fly somewhere to dry and preen.
