Hi Tweets,

I observed another Wilson's Warbler bathing in the leaves as the larger birds sprayed water all over the area. He darted around and under the leaves, while a juv Towhee and two Evening Grosbeaks took turns bathing in the larger bird bath. When they were done, he went over to the bath on the ground and slipped behind a juv Western Tanager and poked him in the butt! The WT first startled jumped to the other side, and when seeing who was doing the poking chased the WW to the bushes.
