This Red-shouldered Hawk was having a grooming session right out in the open.
The RSHs frequently feed at the edge of the ponds which is probably how he got a wet chest.
It was interesting seeing him from below, which was the only angle I could get.
And his wing spread out.
He was intent on his personal care but I had no doubt he also knew every movement around the pond.
Looks like you were standing right below him! Awesome!

Yes, this tree is just at the edge of the path, and he was blocked from my view by other trees until I was right there. Thanks!
