Bird Whirlpool Bath, Bartlett Pond, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

While it is true that we do like to feed passing birds and provide and protect natural habitat for other creatures, we are not so indulgent that we provide a whirlpool bath for them. This grackle, however, has created his very own whirlpool bath by churning up the water by movement of his wings underwater. Clever little critter.
