Sometimes the most special wildlife moments are also the simplest.

This juvenile African Harrier Hawk stopped by the Okaukuejo Waterhole and decided it was the perfect place for a proper bath.

For a few minutes, it splashed around in the water, soaked its feathers and seemed completely focused on getting clean and cooling down. Seeing a young raptor behave like this gives us such a different look at a bird we usually think of as a powerful hunter.

Bathing is important for birds because it helps keep their feathers clean and in good condition. For a bird of prey, healthy feathers are especially important for efficient flight and hunting.

One of those quiet little moments at Okaukuejo that we were very happy to capture and share with you.
