Blue Jay Takes a Bath: A birdbath can draw all kinds of birds to your yard, even birds that don’t typically visit feeders. Some birds will just sit on the edge to sip and some will jump right in and take a splashy bath! This post is a quick, just for fun, photo post of a Blue Jay taking a bath in my back yard to add a smile to your day.

A Blue Jay Hops Into a Birdbath




















This sequence of twenty photos of a Blue Jay taking a bath is part of a larger set of forty-nine. This Blue Jay repeatedly got into the birdbath, splashed very enthusiastically, got out, looked around . . . and then repeated the fun.
What birds do you see taking baths in your birdbath? Comments welcome below.

Hi Char,
Oh, that’s sad to hear. Thanks for letting me know! I’ll update the post on that birdbath.
But wait! I just saw a new announcement that a company called Demdaco is purchasing Studio-M. So there may be good news for those wanting these birdbaths and other Studio-M products.
