CRC resident Swainson’s hawk, Taka, enjoying some sun this weekend. Birds sunbathe for many different reasons. On cold days they can warm their bodies but they will sun themselves on hot days too! Sunning helps convert compounds to Vitamin D for optimal health. The sun’s rays can also extricate feather parasites which then can be easily preened away. Finally, it may be that birds will sunbathe simply for the pleasure of the experience!
