Brewer's Blackbird

A Brewer's blackbird standing in the water, the bottom half of its body submerged.

I caught some Brewer's blackbirds taking baths in the Yellowstone River. The focus isn't perfect, but the birds are so cute that I had to share.

A Brewer's blackbird, looking mighty plump, surrounded by rocks as it bathes in the Yellowstone River.

This one is so plump and comfy as it cools off near the rocks.

Three Brewer's blackbirds standing in the water among rocks and looking leftward.

I like that they were all looking in the same direction (more or less). Right after this picture, the one on the right derped himself into birdbath mode, looking much less dignified.
