Pine Knot News - A hometown newspaper with a local office, local owners & lots of local news

Pine Knot News subscriber and avid wildlife photographer Mike Farmer shared this photo series of a yellow warbler

enjoying a splash in their new water feature. According to blog.nature.org, studies suggest that bathing plays an important role in feather maintenance. Bathtime can also be a time of truce for birds, as evidenced by the chickadee

waiting its turn in the background of one of the photos.
