A Northern Hawk Owl tends to its feathers. Preening is very important to birds. It keeps the feathers in the best condition. Preening will also remove dirt and parasites from the feathers. Most birds will preen several times a day to keep themselves healthy like this owl is doing. Photographed in January 2015.
