This is Petra. She's one of our bald eagles in our Education Program. She's housed at the Bird TLC clinic in a very large mew. She's only a couple feet away from a kiddie wading pool, but she's decided she would rather scrunch into her water dish to bath and cool off.
It did get up to almost 60° by noon today, before it cooled off and started raining later on. I guess a good dip felt good.
I guess a clean eagle is a happy eagle.
An eagle in every pot?

Don't critters do the strangest things?!
That was too funny! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Oh how precious. She sure is bright white and looking very cool!
Love it! She really filled out the pot!
What a clever girl! And now she's squeaky clean, too!! Not everything is instinct.
That was too cute to watch Petra clean herself so calmly. I hope it was a video.
Nice sharing and do post more.

Thank you for sharing this special event. I wish an eagle would come to my bird bath.
Those are a great series of photos, dave. I've never seen an eagle bathe before. It's really quite lovely.
