With many days of dark clouds and rain, it was a pleasant
surprise to wake up to a bright and sunny morning. While enjoying my
breakfast, I spot a Yellow-rumped Warbler fly in to the fountain to enjoying his
morning bath. Soon he is joined by a cute female Allen's Hummingbird taking
advantage of all his splashing and getting her morning shower!
A Yellow-rumped Warbler flies to the birdbath/fountain for
his morning bath.
This Yellow-rumped Warbler appears to be a young male
just coming into his adult breeding plumage. His head still appears to have much
of the juvenile plumage. He will soon be much darker in the face and his chest
area will be a black bib below the yellow chin.
He is having a great time splashing in his morning
bath.
He stops, alerted to something.
The Yellow-rump Warbler has company but settles back
down to this bath as he feels the hummer is not a threat.
His splashing fills the air and now I get a glimpse of
the Allen's Hummingbird coming closer to the birdbath.

Going in for her shower!

What a sweet hummer. She is done with her morning
shower and takes off to have some breakfast at one of my feeders.
Have a great week everyone!
