Thrashing Around

The brown thrasher has dug a string of holes in our back yard. He likes to find a sandy spot and bathe in the dust!

After this, he hopped out in the yard, where he was joined by a red bird. At the time, I thought it was a cardinal, but looking at it enlarged, I think it was a house finch.
