Juvenile Northern Goshawk Preening

If you look closely you can see his beak pulling at a tail feather. I was thrilled when I saw this bird fly in to one of our trees. I had never seen this bird before and hope I got its ID correct. And I've been so uninspired to even get my camera out with all the miserable cold sleety overcast weather we've had for weeks, so I was particularly delighted.
Sorry to be missing in action. Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Wow - you must look at the enlarged view - he's fabulous. Jane, you sure got everything right on this one. Love it.

That's his tail that he is pruning. Must be able to swing it sideways to be able to preen. He's a big bird - well done!

Awesome capture. Sort of looks like the Snail Kite that I got today, but think they are different birds.
