Thanks! It is a challenge but a pretty fun one.

When I think of actually being able to spot a hawk amidst all the jumble, I’m amazed you can EVER find them!

You’re more than welcome to pass along my pictures to your family! I’d be delighted. Thanks for your kind words! City birds really do live it up when they get a new puddle.

No way did I ever see a bird splashing with this joy in Mother Nature’s surroundings. I wish your photos in this album were a permanent imprint that would appear to me at beck and call. I even wanted to send your pictures to family and friends as therapy just as humans use many species as therapy. Is there a chance I can use your pictures even just one to send to my family members? Thank you

lol, when I looked at those pictures later I thought, ‘Oh no, I hope I don’t suddenly see a Hawk sitting right there after the fact!’

Love this….such shallow water and having a wonderful bath. The sequence from dry to splashing is darling.
I was looking at their hang-outs hoping to spy one you didn’t notice. 😉

I think the sparrows were adults but I don’t think that lessened their degree of cuteness. 🙂 Some pigeons were enjoying puddles on the other side of the park but I must admit they weren’t as charming.

I only saw the sparrow for a few seconds but it was a real charmer. Yes, my timing has been off apparently. We’re in for a few days of sizzling, steamy weather so my outings will be a bit restricted. If only the fledglings played in the trees in October! 🙂

Were these babies ? Their feathers appear soft and bit “newbie” looking in the pictures.
How precious, indeed, your pics are a candid peek into the life of our sparrows …cavorting in the rain puddles left by Mother Nature.

Many thanks.
