“Splish splash, I was takin’ a bath.” or so the song goes. That’s what I was thinking when I was watching this Western Scrub-Jay while he was bathing in the bird bath at the Pedernales Falls State Park Bird Blind. He was having quite a time when I captured this image. In my post titled “Wet Jay“, I told about another Western Scrub-Jay that was bathing during my previous visit to the park. In that post I shared some information on how birds bathe and the benefits associated with this activity.
Happy holiday shopping!
This image was taken with my Canon EOS 5D Mark III using my Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 Sports Lens set on 600 mm. The camera was set on Aperture priority mode with the aperture set at f/8, shutter speed at 1/500th of a second and the ISO set at 1600. This was a single image processed in Lightroom.
