Birds...

So what are they doing?

LOL, looks like they went into some kind of trance after sipping from the bird bath. Maybe someone emptied a beer in their bath.

if it is cold perhaps warming up in the sun ?
if it is warm perhaps cooling themselves ?

Dude, don't store drugs in the birdbath

Possibly watching a predator flying above them. Our Pekin Ducks will do that.

I know cormorants will stretch out their wings to dry in the sun if they are wet, for some other species it's about body temperature.
Here is some more about this: Spread-Wing Postures

I'm wondering if this applies to humans? It might explain this...

I do that when I get brain freeze. How cold is that water?

 

[framednlv]

It was around 105-110 F. There is a tree just to the left of the bird bath.

They're drinking their bath water, that's what they're doing.
