A beautiful male scarlet tanager lands on a tree about 3 feet from me (first one I've seen on my property) and seems to be watching me water the plants. He appeared interested in the water, so I laid it down on the ground and backed off about 15 feet. He then proceeds to take a shower/bath in the stream of water for 3 or 4 minutes. Cool, very cool!!
