Out of the Ordinary

SPARROWS DUST BATHING

(re-post)

Sparrow are dimpling

Garden-ready-for-planting

With playful dust baths.

I have a balcony seat and the details are delightful. A dozen or so sparrows are making dents in the dry earth with their madly, gladly, wing flapping/digging.  Dust bathing.  The dents become hollows and I am mesmerized by the deepest hole becoming the most attractive so that the birds nudge each other out of the way to have a turn.
