A little sparrow taking a dirt bath right next to a busy walkway at the zoo. She (I think it's a she) had no fear and let me get really close. She appears to have dandruff so maybe that's why she needed the bath ;-)

I have several parrots, and the dander is from their feather sheath when they get new feathers and it peels off as they unfurl. That's a sweet close shot of the little critter.
