First the all important pre-soak.
The wash includes a bit of agitation to help the dirt come loose.
The spin cycle or in this case high speed shake.
Feathers clean and looking sharp this American Robin is ready for another day.

HI Wayne, he may have been a junior although this spring all the Robins around look particularly healthy and vibrant. Very red breasts and all in fine condition. Lots of breeding activity going on right now and the 5am sky is filled with the Robins song. A nice way to start the day.
