Southern Pale Chanting Goshawk juvie bathing

[Callie]

When it rains in the Kalahari, it is possible to see all kinds of birds enjoying a bath in the few hours the water last before it evaporates.
This juvie PCG had a great morning, and so did we.

Wonderful set of images of a lovely birdie.
Happy trails Callie.

Nice captures there, Callie. Water must be more precious than gold over there. At least to the animals.

Thanks guys - yes Kirk, there is no water anywhere, and when it rains, it disappears quicker than an early fig !

These are great. That second shot -- is the hawk trying to disguise itself by looking like a grouse?
