Holy Rub-down, Robin!

Maybe one of my bird-knowledgeable friends can tell me what I caught this robin doing not so long ago. The pictures do not do it justice, but he was all splayed out like he was practicing as an eagle understudy for a national seal, then he'd rub around a bit, and then perk up and strut. At first, he looked ill and I thought I might be doing some grave digging.





Was he cooling off in the hot, hot weather we've been having? Feeling the good vibrations of Marky Markworm below the surface? It was a rare sight for me, regardless, and in fact, I think it was a first.
