An American Robin Shaking off the Rain

"Wringing out my Wings" It had been absolutely pouring outside our country house in Tennessee. Everything was soaked; including the wildlife that graced the landscape. This little robin came to rest on the fence; and attempt to rid his feathers of the rain that had soaked him to the bone. I was able to capture him plucking at his rain-soaked little body; as the sky continued to pour down onto him.
