At the Bird Bath: What Kind of Bird Is THAT?

We often have a little gray visitor, even on the coldest of days. LGK, who lives a few houses down, comes by as often as he can to visit my husband. Every time he gets here, the first thing he does is to drink thirstily.

We keep a water bowl for him on the front porch. But he sometimes prefers to drink from the bird bath. Of course, when he does this, the birds give him a wide berth, for they know he's no bird!!!

Here's a song for this image: George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers, with I Drink Alone.
