Robin I believe that Sparrowhawks would bathe at the edge of a large body of water, but only if the water was as wet as a small body of water. Bob From: Robin Hide <> To: Canberra Birds <> Sent: Sun, 21 November, 2010 12:32:45 PM Subject: [canberrabirds] Sparrowhawk and bathing query Walking on the cyclepath along the western edge of Lake Ginninderra this morning, we went to investigate a loud hullabaloo from a wagtail, a magpie lark and a honeyeater in a willow overhanging the lake. About 3 m above the water on a branch of the willow was what I think was a Collared Sparrowhawk which appeared to be drying and preening its feathers as if it had just bathed. Would a Sparrowhawk bathe at the edge of large body of water like LG? Robin Hide |
