Everyone in the bath!

If it's not raining, birds are constantly visiting the birdbath, sometimes just to sip some water,
but usually they can't resist at least standing in the water.
After a feast of ivy berries, this American robin decided to drink some water, then stand in the bath for a few minutes before it flew away.

But before the robin got into the bath, a Golden-Crowned sparrow spent a long time splashing in the bath, often diving in to get completely soaked.
Here it is, just after creating some big splashes.

Then along came another Golden-Crowned sparrow for its turn in the bath.
It patiently waiting until the first sparrow was done.

Meanwhile, a hermit thrush waited for its turn in the bath, a few feet away.
