I was about to open our back door to let the dogs out when I noticed a robin that appeared to have flown face-first into the bank by our deck. Its neck was at an awful angle and its wings were splayed out on both sides. I didn’t want the dogs to get the body, so I shooed them back inside so I could move the bird. When I stooped to get it, though, it hopped upright, shook itself off, looked severely annoyed, then flew off. It had apparently been sunbathing.

Celeste didn’t believe me when I told her birds sunbathe, so I dug up these pictures of Bammy, the bluejay we had for years, who was forever finding spots to stretch out in the sun.
