An Unexpected Visitor

During this hot dry weather I’ve become accustomed to many different birds at the water dishes on my deck. But nothing prepared me for what I saw this morning when I looked out my window.

Along with Black-capped and Boreal Chickadees, and Red-breasted Nuthatches a Great Gray Owl showed up looking for a bath.

What happened next? I’ll let the photos tell the story …

There’s no guarantee that owls will show up at your water dishes but those birds that do will appreciate a drink, a bath and a chance to rehydrate!
