Initially, Mr Cooper came for his bathtime on Sundays...more recently, the visits have come throughout the week...Upon arrival at the birdbath,which stands about seven feet from the patio door, he sits on the edge, looks about and patiently waits for me to open the vertical blinds and then open the door sufficiently wide to poke the camera and lens in his direction...after that introduction, he has a few brisk baths and flies to a nearby Juniper for a relaxed drying off before leaving the area.
