Dirt Bath

I see small birds doing this all the time.
Looked quite comical to see this guy do this.
It was more like a awkward mulch roll then anything, but he seemed to be enjoying himself.

Hilarious, I think he's sharpening his beak for when Jo-Anne shows up!

Meg ... great pix.  I especially like your photo #4 and photo #5.

Nice pics!
Your guy is actually a gal, which may explain the extra emphasis on cleanliness! :roll:

I didn't know they did that! I probably would of thought she was hurt if I had of saw her acting like that!  :shock:

Cool action sequence Meghan - something new for me for sure.  It's all about timing ...

I agree, and that's how I felt at first. She was thrashing around on the ground and it took me a moment to figure out what was going on.

Thanks John for the I.D, I didn't even notice that.  :roll:
Thanks Howieh, Reuven, Jo-Anne and Moira, this behavior was a first for me, I agree, it's all about the timing.
It was nice to find one of them doing something different.
Usually the typical behaviour I encounter with them is the high fly over and annoying habit of landing really high up and looking down and laughing at me.
I think we've all been there right?  :roll:
It was cool to find one on the ground doing something I have not seen before.
Thanks to all, I'm glad you enjoyed these photos.
