This water feature is in my friend’s garden in Palm Desert. In that arid world it is a small avian oasis. Today this guy showed up for the first time, thirsty. No other birds were visible around the water while he was there. I can hear the little goldfinches whispering to one another, “Yike, the shrike!”

Thanks, Rich Fineo, for the picture and the running water.
