Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 171

In the Northern hemisphere, the summer knocks at the door. Here we could say summer arrived much earlier. We experienced hot days even in April. Now it feels like late July or early August. God knows what would be then.

Birds are using any water source to quench thirst or to have a refreshing bath. Seeing that sparrow drinking from the paddle, the idea of the topic came to my mind - Summer Photos of birds. Again you can interpret according to your understanding how you see the birds to fit in that topic.

And here is my example - a sparrow in a hot summer day.

ROUND 171

Happy to announce we have Ecency points thanks to @barbara-orenya and @melinda010100 to give away and I updated the prizes.

For those who are not familiar with Ecency POINTS - the ecency.com and its mobile version reward the users with POINTS when post, comment and using Ecency apps. The accumulated points can be used to promote your posts or to be gifted to other users.

📣 UPDATE

A new feature is introduced - Boost+ that allows to use your points to receive delegation. The old Boost is no longer in use and is replaced by the Boost+.

Now Feathered Friends Community begins receiving POINTS when you post in the community, thanks to the initiative created by Ecency. This way the community is earning POINTS and gladly will reward the winners with them.

Another feature introduced by Ecency is tipping from ecency.com. Now you can tip in Hive, Hive dollars or Points when you use ecency.com.
