Amazing

 I have a real soft spot for doves. I find them utterly charming...so gentle and sweet; they are the only birds that park themselves in the dirt or gravel for a little rest. As we know, usually there is a pair of doves, but this one seems to be solitary. He/she was having a marvelous bath, lying right on top of the fountain bubbler for a birdie massage.

 And then, this:
I have NEVER seen a bird do this before! He/she did it more than once, just stretching its wings up like this. So glad to have witnessed it.

We saw a humming bird do that at our fountain
at our house. It would fly close to it and let
the water give it a shower. Neat!!!
