A juvenile house wren (Troglodytes aedon) is enjoying an early evening dust bath when suddenly an unexpected visitor drops in. Surprisingly, this juvenile eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) decides to take a dust bath as well!
Dust bathing helps remove  debris, dead skin, and parasites, keeping animals clean and healthy!
