There has been some construction going on in a local park and sections of dusty earth have been left scattered about. The House Sparrows were taking full advantage of the sand to have a dust bath which helps them to maintain their plumage in top condition. There were actually about a dozen of these little guys fluttering around in the dirt.

Hello,
They do love a good dust bath. Cute shot of the Sparrows!
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Interesting!
Have a great weekend!
~(‾▿‾)~ You have the cleanest birds in the GTA.
I think that House Sparrows enjoy a good dust-bath more than any other birds I know - they do exactly the same here whenever the English climate allows for dust.
That would be so much fun to watch!
A dust bath may be their only choice during a drought. Good action shot.
They are lovely,-))
I saw some house sparrows this morning lapping up the ice cream that had fallen to the sidewalk in front of an ice cream shop here.
they are such sweet little birds, and smart too!!
House Sparrows are tough little cookies for sure.
They seem to be enjoying the dust.
