Hoags Back Yard in Baraboo - 1:20 p.m. 
This noon as I was going to school I 
stopped to watch two robins. In the 
backyard the faucet runs a little all the 
time and drips into a box. It is left 
this way for the birds. These robins ran 
up there and without hesitation stepped 
in and began to bathe. They would put 
their heads in the water and then splash 
with their wings. They seemed to enjoy 
it greatly. They have a curious habit 
of progressing. One will put its head 
down and run a few feet and then 
straighten up and look around after which 
the action is repeated.
