Some real water birds, and some others that just like getting wet.

One of two chunky American Coots, standing on an underwater Niles Pond rock.
Bottoms up – A Mallard pair enjoying the “All you can eat” underwater salad bar.
Dad is up for air.
And Mom is too. Now repeat for dessert.
Eddy Egret has found some kind of eel-like fish at low tide. [Enlarge these 2 photos]
The eel hasn’t given up, as it’s swallowed.
Near our feeders, House Sparrows test the waters.
Not too deep. Nice and warm. A test splash.
How about a group splash?
You two take a swim. I’ll stand guard.
