This is the first time I've seen a Western Kingbird enjoying the feeders.
The Upland Sandpipers are still here and enjoying a nice mud puddle. Bath time.
A damp Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
Even Mr. and Mrs soaking wet Cardinal showed up.

Lovely collection of photographs ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
That takes some doing Betty. Getting the whole tail of the Scissor-tailed in the frame. Nice to see Upland Sandpiper again - I saw one on the isles of Scilly UK, many years ago.
ReplyDeleteSuper day indeed! This is such a great time for birding, isn't it? I'm jealous of the upland sandpipers sticking around so long. Here, they show up & are gone all too soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Betty, for sharing this with us at I'd Rather B Birdin.
...a nice bunch of wet feathered friends!
ReplyDeleteQuite an assortment of birds, but those two with the mud puddle are precious!
ReplyDeleteWhat great birds - sometimes I think that the rain makes the birds look even better than normal.

Beautiful birds collection! Have a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteI can’t remember ever seeing a king bird of any kind at a bird feeder.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post, all birds that I do not know other than the odd glimpse when we visited the USA and Nevis. Have a good week, Diane
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful visitors! Love that you had a kingbird.
ReplyDeleteYou got pictures of some birds I can only hope to photograph! Great job. (I have 'caught' cardinals several times -- and one time only one picture of a kingbird a -- nd a few bad ones of hummers, but the other birds I can't even imagine catching that beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLovely rainy photos. You never know what you can expect from life. That's why I always try to have camera with me.
ReplyDeleteFor a while I thought the top two birds was the same one :) They look so sweet. Always love to see birds enjoy a good bath :)
