Birds are careful to keep their feathers clean. These Catbirds headed straight for a big puddle after a much needed rainy day. It’s been a very dry spring and early summer. Dust baths have been the main option most of the time and are helpful for controlling parasites. But a water bath is much nicer.

Catbirds? Interesting. Love the pic. The birds are enjoying the bath.

They are mimics. Not as good as Mockingbirds but you can tell when they are around. They get their name from mewing like a cat as part of their song/call catalog.
